While I was on Aubagio and Copaxone I took “Liver Refresh” by NOW supplements. Also I drank very very little. My liver function tests were always great.

Yes, liver issues can occur with high-dose steroid use, which is sometimes prescribed for managing MS relapses. Some individuals on steroids, including those used for MS like methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol), have reported experiencing liver problems.
