Aspirin is harmful, NSAIDs are harmful, naproxen is harmful, acetamenophen is harmful, it’s a matter of degree. If you want to say take no over the counter pain medication whatsoever, in order to avoid all potential harm then I’d agree with you. If the individual is still drinking alcohol, then I’d even agree with you regarding avoidance of acetamenophen in particular.

However, I hope you’ve read on further into the thread to realize that you are the one going off half-cocked, here.

Try being a little more civil. It will serve you far better than this, whoever the hell you are.

You’re telling someone with chronic liver failure it’s ok to take acetaminophen? That’s pretty bad advice. It doesn’t matter whether you take it with alcohol or not-it’s still toxic to the liver, especially in someone with this problem.

It goes without saying that someone with CLF should not be drinking.

As for meds, prescription or OTC, someone with CLF should not be taking ANYTHING without approval of his/her doctor. Plenty of advice on this thread, but a lot of it is questionable.

And yes, the only safe analgesics are narcotics in this case.
