Best cough med that doesn't effect liver?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Cough: I would try cough drops. Most oral medications go to the liver to be removed from the body.

Codeine: Codeine may help with cough and is relatively safe to the liver. If someone has advanced liver disease consult with your liver specialist?
