A member asked:
Are there health complications that can come from taking regular but correct doses of paracetamol for liver damage pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably Not: It is generally felt that this dosing is safe. However, studies have shown that even in normal patients, regular use of paracetamol can lead to elevations in the liver enyzmes. This means that some of the liver cells are being damaged. You should minimize your use as much as possible.
