As Donna pointed out..... and from my research Tylenol or Acetemen... is

fine used at a max of 2mg per day.... and yes one can damage and cause

drug induced liver disease with it but not in that doseage. Everything is

in large doses horrible for the liver as far as meds go...... but Donna is

right and I know the dose of 2mg is the max......... Please do consult a

doc with these numbers and you will see. and all you have heard is fine

and correct just not so freak out about..... again you are right and also

misinformed re the doseage ...... that is why Vicodin or Lortab is given

to hep patients because in amounts prescribed it is NOT harmful. Happy New

Year, sally
