Question 1

can i take ocassional acetaminophen  500-1000 mg if i've hepc, but liver tests are normal and i also take depakote er 1000 mg/d. ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: although you should clear it with your liver doctor, occasional use of acetaminophen does not cause harm to the liver. If used on a regular basis, however, it can be harmful. Have you seen your doctor yet concerning treating your hepatitis C? Current treatments are much easier and practically free of side effects, and are much more effective. Check with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 2

acetaminophen and depakote,both are hard to liver,but there is no interaction between these? is it safe? nsaids cause stomach upset and heatburn

Accepted Answer

It's ok: As long as you have no liver disease and take the acetominophen sparingly (not high doses daily) then there should be no problem to the liver.  Your doctor should monitor your liver tests with blood work periodically.

Question 3

i've gerd and chronic gastritis and  hcv with normal lab results, im also taking depakote 1000 mg/d, does depakote  interact with acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

Consider this...: Per attached link, the answer is "no" --http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=918-484,11-12.  However, getting treated for your HCV and ongoing gastritis may be bigger issues that need to be addressed.

Question 4

is it safe to take 1500mg of acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

Acetaminophen: The general recommendation is not to exceed 4000mg daily. There have been many warnings regarding tylenol (acetaminophen) and overtime it can negatively affect your liver. In the short-term you should not exceed 1000mg four times a day.

Question 5

is it safe to take 1000mg tylenol (acetaminophen) everyday ?

Accepted Answer

Yes with caveats: 1000mg tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe as a total daily dose provided you do not have liver or kidney disease and are not a heavy alcohol drinker.

Question 6

is it safe to take 3 acetaminophen with codeine at one time?

Accepted Answer

Tough question: You could.Especially  for very short term of pain control and they are from the lower dosage. On the other hand the side effects (constipation, ....)is dose related and if you take it for longer time you will develop tolerance to it where higher and higher doses will be needed.You need to let your doctor know.
He may give you s.Th. Else or add acupuncture, self hypnoses or other meds that are safer.

Accepted Answer

Yes: One dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) after a drink is perfectly safe.

Question 9

is it safe to take acetaminophen for occasional aches or pains - such as one or two 325mg pills once per week? i've read it shouldn't be taken for more than 10 days even in small doses. what would constitute longterm/unsafe use?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That will be the only safe use of acetaminophen. Long term use means high doses, close to 4 g/day for 3 weeks or more of daily use. Short courses of up to 1 week of daily use is also usually appropriate with relatively safe margins. Drug-drug interactions are also to be considered as well as preexisting liver disease.

Yes, but: the daily dose should be limited to NO MORE THAN 3000mg daily due to liver toxicity. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
