Pain medicine
I have Hep C and arthritis - my doctor has prescribed hydocodone/Apap for the arthritis. Should I be taking this? Is there a pain killer that will not damage my liver? Also my doctor had prescribed Enalapril for hypertension. I don't think I should be taking this either.....
Does anyone have any suggestions as to medications I can take for pain relief and for the hypertension that will not do
further damage to my liver?

I took Hysdrocodone 10/325
Percocets for over a year - no massive damage to liver - too fast of an elimination - according to my doctor.
As long as you're not over taking them...
If they work for you - YAYHOO!
Keep with them.
Suggesting Tramadol also or long acting ULTRAM (brand name)
They seem to work VERY well as well.
Good luck!

The tylenol thing is weird. I didn't want to take anything that had tylenol in it. But most doctors will give you hydrocod/apap because they don't want to write for Schedule 2 pain killers. But even percodan and percocet have apap and aspirin in them. But I did need pain relief. So my md wrote for a drug called OPANA its oxymorphone. It is a schedule 2 so most doc's don't want to write for it. But it has nothing else in it. As a pharmacist myself I felt safest taking that. Alittle tylenol is ok but I would have been taking 3 to 4 grams of it and that bad.
Mention it to your md, see what he says. But be warned if you take any of that stuff for long you will get addicted. Which is were I am now. I am tapering down hopefully by the end of the month I won't be taking anything

I don't know these drugs, but according to what I've read, there are no sx concerning the liver for Enalapril. You can actually google all the meds and find out everything about it. Don't know about the pain killers.
