Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 this was a answer to a question posted on this site: A Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a medication used to control pain (known as an analgesic) and fever (known as antipyretic). In small doses (less than 4 grams per day, or eight pills taken over a twenty-four hour period of time) acetaminophen is quite safe for the liver—unless combined with alcoholic beverages. (Note: each acetaminophen tablet or pill typically contains 500 milligrams of acetaminophen.) In fact, acetaminophen is the recommended medication for relieving minor aches, pains, and headaches in people with liver disease. However, when taken in excessive quantities or when combined with alcohol, acetaminophen may cause death due to liver failure. The consumption of alcohol in conjunction with acetaminophen significantly increases the likelihood that a person will incur severe liver damage. Therefore, people who consume alcohol on a regular basis should probably limit acetaminophen intake to a maximum of 1 to 2 grams per day (that is, two to four pills within a twenty-four hour period). Still, the best advice for people with liver disease is to totally abstain from alcohol. People should take special note that acetaminophen is also an active ingredient in more than 200 other medications, including Nyquil and Anacin 3. Therefore, it is essential to read the labels of all over-the-counter medications carefully. Other commonly used medications, such as omeprazole (Prilosec), phenytoin (Dilantin), and isoniazid (INH), may increase the risk of liver injury caused by acetaminophen. It is always in the liver patient’s best interest to consult with a liver specialist prior to taking any medication. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and other NSAIDs such as Motrin are drugs that are widely used for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. They also have the potential to cause drug-induced liver disease. In fact, many NSAIDs have been withdrawn from the market due to their hepatotoxicity. All NSAIDs have the potential to cause liver injury. However, some NSAIDs are more hepatotoxic than others. NSAIDs presently on the market that have been frequently associated with liver injury are aspirin (ASA), diclofenac (Voltaren), and sulindac (Clinoril).. Ibuprofen (Motrin) has been reported to cause severe liver injury in people with hepatitis C. It is recommended that people with advanced liver disease avoid using all NSAIDs. If NSAIDs are medically required for the treatment of another medical disorder, a reduced dose should be used for a limited period of time and only by people with stable liver disease. Older women with liver disease seem to be particularly susceptible to the hepatotoxicity of NSAIDs and are advised to avoid NSAIDs altogether. Since NSAIDs may cause salt and water retention people with fluid retention problems such as ascites or leg swelling may suffer worsening of these conditions. People with decompensated cirrhosis are at increased risk kidney damage stemming from the use of NSAIDs. Since this may lead to hepatorenal syndrome, people with advanced liver disease are advised to totally avoid all NSAIDs. Furthermore, people with ascites (fluid accumulation) may not respond to treatment with water pills (diuretics), while on NSAIDs, as they counteract their actions. People with liver disease who have had internal bleeding, - from an ulcer or esophageal varices, for example, may be at risk for recurrent bleeding induced by NSAIDs, and should totally avoid this class of medications. People who are also taking corticosteroids (such as prednisone), or anticoagulants (such as coumadin) may have and increased risk of complications from NSAIDs. Finally, people with liver disease who smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol should avoid NSAIDs as they are also at increased risk for its complications. ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 8:29:42 AM Subject: Re: Tylonal and other meds? dear Tammy i work in a hospital pharmacy...i am an LPN / Iv technician some of what i do is to prepare rescue drugs to protect the liver and kidney in cases of overdoses. all drugs are filtered thru the liver and kinneys some more the others...please read thes links. and when i go to work tonight i will try to get more info from the experts. http://www.liverdis ease.com/ medications_ hepatitis. html http://liverdisease .com/painkillers _hepatitis. html ____________ _________ _________ __ From: Tammy Parsons <austincannonrhianna @yahoo.com> To: group <livercirrhosissuppo rtyahoogroups (DOT) com> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 10:56:17 PM Subject: Tylonal and other meds?

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi , I had a liver transplant on January 6, 2008, and I am allowed to have 2000 mg or 2 grams of Tylenol per day if needed. That is the amount I was allowed to have before my transplant too just like Lyncia just said. I think that is the amount that is ok for most people.

They told me at the liver evaluation center that I could take small does of tylenol but not ibuprofen because it thins your blood I believe. I'm tired alot too.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi Lyncia, I used to get dark purple circles under my eyes before my transplant. Some days were worse than others. There were days when I went to my parent's house, and they told me I looked like death warmed over.
