In this situation, you should consult your doctor before taking Orthoton to make sure that it is safe in this case. Your doctor may recommend additional tests to assess liver function, adjust your dose of medication, or suggest alternative medications. Do not take Ortoton without consulting your doctor if he or she has not been informed of your liver damage beforehand.
While Metocarbamol is usually safe, people with hepatic impairment should exercise caution because the metabolism of this drug takes place partly in the liver, and in patients with hepatic insufficiency, the time to eliminate the drug may be prolonged.
People with liver damage are also more likely to experience side effects from Methocarbamol, such as drowsiness, confusion and coma. The guidelines recommend extreme caution when using Methocarbamol in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of an in-person visit, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:

The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48590/methocarbamol-espefa-tabletki/apteki
