What are some liver friendly otc medications that i can take for a cold or allergies? i have hcv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watch doses: People who have hepatitis c and cirrhosis need to be very careful about medications. If you don't have a lot of scarring, most cold medicines are safe in moderation. Look at how much tylenol ( generic acetaminophen) is in the different preparations and don't take more than 3 grams a day. Herbal products can have substances in them that are not recorded so be cautious.
