Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Every time my husband's insurance changes through his job which is about every few years I have to switch gastro's. I have had 4 gastro doc's plus the liver specialist at s Hopkins, all have advised me to never take NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin, naproxen sodium, or ibuprofen since these drugs can cause other gastrointestinal problems, such as ulcers and intestinal bleeding but to take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) that is a safe medication when used in small doses (about 2 to 3 grams per day). When taken at recommended doses, acetaminophen, the medicine in Tylenol, is the preferred pain reliever for patients with chronic, liver disease. I have posted this out of concern for those that are using NSAIDS. Take care, Donna Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 that is sooooo not what i have learned... i was told that tylenol is terrible to the liver, example, if someone were to commit suicide with tylenol, there's no way to help that person because acetaminophen will definitely hurt the liver already.... but it is advised to take baby aspirin to help with atherosclerosis in older generations.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 To clarify: The difference in what to take, what not to take lies in whether a person has end-stage liver disease or not. (cirrhosis) If yes, all aspirin products are out. (includes all that Donna mentions below). At that point tylenol is the only advised pain reliever in the small doses described. The reason for this is that internal bleeding is a known issue with cirrhosis and aspirin is known to be a contributing factor to that.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thank you for clarifying, your statement does make a lot of sense. I am on the transplant list which is why I can no longer have narcotics. As I stated based on what I had always been told I was just concerned.
