"About 28,000 Americans die each year of chronic liver disease, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cause is often the result of alcohol abuse or Hepatitis C. There also can be other medical reasons. A much smaller number - about 2,000 people a year - go into acute liver failure without an underlying disease, the leading cause being an inadvertent overdose of acetaminophen..."
Personally, I use aspirin. Please be careful if you use acetaminophen.

Has this page is much reason to be careful with taking acetaminophen since despite being a good drug abuse and excessive use can cause us many problems.
ReplyDeleteThat is very sad that there are so many dyeing from liver malfunction in spite of such improved and good medication.Liver plays a very major role in the digestion process and should not be neglected at any cost.
ReplyDeleteAcetaminophen in doses of 4 g/d did not affect liver function of alcoholic patients in this randomized study.Medicines containing acetaminophen are available in many forms, including drops, syrups, capsules, and pills.
