Advil *is* ibuprofen, so it would be taking 6 ibuprofen total. Aleve is naproxen, which is also an anti-inflammatory. They are both hard on the stomach and GI tract, as is aspirin. Alcohol can make this worse.\n\nTylenol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory, and should not hurt your stomach. High doses, however, are toxic to your liver. Alcohol can make this *much* worse.

Really depends on the clinical scenario and exactly which liver enzymes you are referring to.  I would suggest emedicine as a good web resource for you.  In general Liver enzymes can be elevated by anything that injures hepatocytes (liver cells).  This can be due to infection, decreased blood drainage or decreased blood supply or secondary to a toxin or toxic effect of a medication.  Liver enzyme elevation is very nonspecefic. There are also some congenital inborn errors of metabolism that cause elevated enzymes.\nA brief list:\nCongestive heart failure\nHepatitis: viral or autoimmune\nTrauma\nWilson's disease (copper metabolism)\nHemochromatosis (iron storage disease)\nMetastatic disease or primary liver cancer\nMono\nSome leukemias\nShock\nGall stones\nBlood clots in the liver\nSome blood pressure and cholesterol meds\ntylenol\nseizure meds\nalcohol\nbirth controll pills\nheparin\niron pills\nanxiety pills\naspirin\nibuprofen\n\nThe bottom line is lots of things can cause this and the results need to be looked at in light of the clinical situation and pattern of other lab values.  Quite often the cause is not serious but it can be so it is very important to follow up with a qualified medical professional.  I hope this helps and would check the emedicine site for more info.  Be careful what you learn on non-regulated internet sites like this one.

Bad idea to drink yet.  Alcohol tends to thin the blood and it could cause blood clots that have occured in the pockets where your teeth were to open up and you could start bleeding.

You cannot separate the acetaminophen from the hydrocodone.\nHydrocodone is bad for the liver as well.

no, but overdosing in pain relievers will cause liver damage in the future.

First off, you should take your antibiotics they way they are prescribed, and you should not keep "extras" around to self treat.  Bacteria are drug specific, and the wrong drug won't necessarily kill them.  What you might do is kill off the good bacteria in your gut and give yourself a whopping case of the trots.  The Tylenol is above the recommended dosage, and although it likely wouldn't do noticeable harm, it will do something to your liver as it tries to filter out the excess.   If you have a nice healthy liver, it will be okay, for now.  But it's a little more damage that your liver probably doesn't need, and could do without.  On the other hand, if your liver isn't quite so healthy, it could just be the final straw.   That means going on the waiting list for a transplant, and providing you get one in time, a lifetime on immune system depressants so you don't reject it and die.\n  So will it hurt you this time?  Probably not, but it's not really a chance worth taking.  If you are really sick, go see the doctor and be treated properly.

The biggest one is LIver Damage.  It was widely prescribed in the UK in the 1990's, but after reading the amount of damdge it caused on the liver it was very significantly decreased.  It has very similar chemical breakdown and liver filtering as tylenol, so taking this on a regular basisi will have, and has shown to cause liver damage.

if possible use liniment such as omega pain reliever, salonpas and other externally applied so as not to cause irritation on your chronic liver desease.

After researching the drug and its common side effects, I did not see mention anything involving alcohol. However, to be on the safe side, make sure your prescription bottle does not have any labels specifically telling you NOT to drink, and then for good measure call your pharmacist. They should be able to tell you right away if drinking will cause you any harm.

Liver failure.  Tylenol is now one of the leading causes of liver failure and liver transplants.

There are no specific contraindications to use of alcohol while on this medication. However, erythromycin is primarily metabolized by the liver, and general common sense would indicate you should be caution about the concommitant use of alcohol.
