Hydrocodon-acetaminophn 10-500

Updated

Ok my sister is worried about me taken the amount of this medication. I'm taken 2 tablets of hydrocodon-acetaminophn 10-500 as needed 3 times a day. This would mean I'm taken 60-3000. Is this gonna cause problems with my liver. What is a healthy liver number before one should start to be concerned.

According to the FDA, the current maximum recommended adult dose of acetaminophen is 4,000 milligrams per day. So in my opinion you should be fine with the amount you've been prescribed.

However other webpages have noted that Extra Strength Tylenol packages will now list the maximum daily dose as six pills, or a total of 3,000 milligrams, down from eight pills a day, or 4,000 milligrams.

My suggestion is if you have to take this amount on a regular basis, I'd consider changing medications at some point down the road to give your system a break from the acetaminophen.

I hope this helps!

The daily maximum for Acetaminophen is 4,000mgs, so you are still under the toxic level. Once someone exceeds that, they may develop toxicity and go into liver failure, which can be fatal.

However, long term use does also have the potential to cause liver damage and/or liver failure, but there's no way to say if it will happen to any one person.

Is your doctor monitoring you and checking your liver enzymes on a regular basis?

If so, they would be the best judge of what levels may signal a possible problem starting and will let you know if that occurs.
