I take vicoprofen which is a combo of vicodin and ibroprofen (can't spell). I would ask your Dr. I'm pretty sure that the stage of the liver determines what you are able to take. Good luck 999999

thanks so much and good luck to you and what is RA? I have just start my shots.

RA is rhuematoid arthritis. I do take advil per my doc it is okay, I am just limited to 2mg per 24 hour period. But I have never needed to take more then that amount ever.
Pretty much all people here on treatment do the once a week shot and the daily ribiviran, so feel free to ask any other questions you might have. I hope you are relatively side free! Make sure you are drinking your water-it is a big deal as it helps to flush out the toxins from the meds.
Take Care, and Keep in touch!

I take ibuprofen, my dr says its fine, but always consult you're own doc, just to be sure, cause everyone's case is somewhat different.

You should always check with your doctor. My doctor lets me take tylenol because it isn't a blood thinner like advil. He says they are all ok if you do not take over the recommended dosage. It is when you are taking to many to often when you can start hurting your liver. I actually had a niece that got a peptic ulcer in here stomoch from taking to mush tylenol. Less is better. I never take tylonol every day or more than twice a day which is below the recommendatins on the bottle.

Hello and welcome to DS and the fight to save your liver!! I finished 48 wks of treatment in April and I was put on a number of pain pills during my treatment. Check with your doctor and see what they tell u. Best wishes on beating the dragon!

my doctor suggested Advill and Advill PM for me. but he told me no Tylenol.

Advill helped me alot. i would take before my meds. reduced side affects. alot!!

As always, check with your own md. But for me-my md recommended limited tylenol. He told me to eat something with it and it would be ok. When i could not break my temp last week he told me to take advil and alternate with tylenol until fever broke. I suppose as long as either are taken in moderation it will be fine. Beth

I'm no expert, but my docs as well as the people and doc in my support group at the Lahey say absolutely no ibuprophen. I'm told Tylenol (under 2000 mg per day) is OK. But definitely ask your doc.

You can ask your doctor because I'm tols, like Camille, that Tylenol is okay but no more than 4 day. I just confirmed with my doctor before posting.
