A member asked:
Excessive use of painkillers with already damaged liver (0-3), can cause more damage ( more fibrosis) or just elevated chemistry blood tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't: Overall, it should not worsen your liver function. However, if the liver is not working well, the drug might not get metabolized as easily.
