A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acetaminophen/liver: Health care professionals often recommend avoiding the use of acetaminophen in patients with liver disease or cirrhosis, whereas NSAIDs are more commonly endorsed. Case reports have shown long-term ingestion of supratherapeutic doses (>4 g/d) of acetaminophen in patients without known liver disease, and therapeutic doses in alcoholic patients without cirrhosis, cab result in acute liver failure.
