HCV and painkillers

  In reference to a recent inquiry you answered for me (test results and painkillers), you asked me where I heard that ibupropen and NSAIDS could be bad for HCV patients.  I'm enclosing the page where I learned that info along with the URL.  
  Thank you for your answer to my question.   Richard

  OTC Medications Can Cause Problems For Hepatitis C Patients
  HERSHEY, PA -- Sept. 16, 1998 -- Patients with chronic hepatitis C often
  take the over-the-counter non-steroidal drug Ibuprofen, otherwise known as
  Motrin or Advil, to combat joint pain that often accompanies the disease.
  However, even a low dose could lead to unsuspecting liver damage.
  "Patients frequently suffer from joint pain. Often, even physicians will
  prescribe ibuprofen when they should prescribe Tylenol," explained Thomas
  Riley, III, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at Penn State's College
  of Medicine. "The correct recommendation to help the patient is a low dose
  of Tylenol, about two grams per day. That means the patient can take one
  extra strength Tylenol -- 500 mg -- every six hours or take two every 12
  hours."
  Riley and his colleagues describe three cases in an article published in
  this month

Dear Richard:
I really appreciate your enclosing the information from Dr. Riley at Hershey Medical Center.  
Dr. Riley makes the exact same comments about tylenol that I make to my patients which is that they are safe when used as recommended.  Are recommendations are no more than six regular strength a day and no more than four extra strength a day.  That
