I have been taking Lorcet 7.5/650 for the past week because of migraines and prostatitis. I've been taking four or five a day every day since I saw the doctor. So, I have ingested at least 2.6 grams of Acetaminophen spaced out over the day for a week. My question: Is the medication metabolizing and leaving my body, or has it built up from the regular use? How long will it take the liver to process it safely?
Most importantly I am concerned about alcohol. If I took two tablets today, the second one around lunchtime, after the regular use all week, would it be safe to drink later this evening? I'm clearly not showing any symptoms of overuse. About ten hours will have passed from the time I took that last dose and when I plan on drinking this evening. I am not a regular drinker or pain medication user. It's just taken a regular dose to tolerate such severe inflammation from the prostatitis while the Cipro has been clearing up the infection. I don't plan on using anymore Lorcet unless I have a migraine, and I would not do so if I had already consumed alcohol. So, would it otherwise be safe to drink this evening?
