A member asked:

I`ve hep c - nsaids cause upset stomach,does acetaminophen is safe for me,to combat fever,if yes which dosage and duration of time.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ans: Watch out for Tylenol (acetaminophen) for it is metabolized through the liver. Now you did not say your hepatitis was active. Know what your liver enzymes are. But best to avoid Tylenol (acetaminophen). Also why are you taking all this pain medication?
