What do take for cramps and pain?
so i usually use a NSAID like Ibuprofen or Pamprin (acetaminophen) once a month for cramps, but I know these are hard on the liver and now that I know i have Hepatitis C is there something else i could take? I menstrual cramps that are unbearable the first few days.
This is a good question for your hep doc and/or your gyn. Although I do agree with what Livelife says, it is better coming from your doc as he/she knows your medical history. Your doctor knows how to weigh the risks and benefits of the drugs he prescribes for you.
Hi there. Tylenol is what is recommended for pain and discomfort including cramps. Mayo Clinic suggests no more then 2,000 mg per day if you have liver disease which includes people with Hepatitis C. Tylenol is a better choice then pills containing ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin. The only concern with Tylenol is that you do not want to have any form of alcohol in combination with this drug.
As always with any pain meds, the less the better.
