A member asked:

60% va disabled for my back. i take hydrocodone 10-325 4x for pain daily. i quit drinking alcohol 3 years ago. i have moderate heptic steatosis, liver 16.3 midclavicular line. is this too much acetaminophen daily or ask for just oxycodone,age64?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be ok: Best thing for hepatic steatosis is weight loss and a low-fat diet. Congrats on quitting alcohol - that is a great step as well. You can ask your doctor about giving you a formulation of pain med with less acetaminophen if you're worried but as long as you do not go over 3 grams of acetaminophen from all sources, you should be ok. This is assuming you have normal liver enzymes and no cirrhosis.
