Do you drink and medicate? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It is a well-known fact that acetaminophen can lead to liver damage when taken for prolonged periods. In fact, nearly 30,000 people are hospitalized with acute liver failure due to acetaminophen use. Well, alcohol can also lead to liver damage. When used together, it can lead to a slew of side effects and issues including: bleeding ulcers, upset stomach, and a rapid heartbeat. However, one of the most severe side effects is liver damage. You only have one liver and a transplant is nearly impossible to receive when damage was caused by alcohol use. It is recommended to talk to your doctor before taking acetaminophen if you consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day.
