A member asked:

How much vicodin does it take to cause liver damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No one knows: There is no threshold amount. We are told that anyone using more than 4 grams of acetometophen daily risk problems yet i see patients on this and more without issues. Most of my patients on more than 60 pills a day have had some issues.
