A member asked:

Does oxycontin do damage to the liver if i take it as prescribed and have hep c ? i have 5 herniated discs in my lumbar from a 28 foot fall need meds

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely it does;: Liver is body's most important organ in which every drug gets metabolized. So with hep c, your liver is already damaged, you should not take too many meds to further damage it. See your pcp as the last thing you want is to start using habit forming meds. Remember pain has never killed anyone but pain meds have ;/or caused difficult problems, which one can't get rid off easily. Good luck 4 new yr.
