A member asked:
Husband on hospice was given 500mg tylenol every 8 hours to take for pain, drinks heavily and has cirrhosis. is that amount of tylenol safe for liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once in hospice: the main focus in to keep the person pain free and comfortable. Usually that goal trumps all else. For instance, narcotics might be given to an addict to control their pain.
