My grandmother was diagnosed FLD in the 1950's. Dr. said if you want to live follow strict diet. She lost 100 lbs, Lived to be 96. Milk thistle helps too. Help yourself. Way too many drugs... not enough will power.

FYI. Fatty liver disease is highly correlated with statin drugs-most of which are prescribed provilactically & do not reduce deaths from heart disease. So now we need another high cost drug to combat the Co-effects of a ineffectual 1st drug (highest prescribed worldwide)? 🤔

Has Big Pharma ( obviously with a pea sized intellect ) ever wondered what's the point of those billions ! Can't the morons see that upto a few million maybe money serves man, but after that man is at service of money ! May Jesus bestow on them love of Mary !

Suspect multibillion is an understatement.

And as for the clients/patients, as usual the practical bottleneck to overcome will be the ridiculous prices for these drugs..
