These meds hepatoxic?

[bbuster]

I go back for another blood test in June .... my ast was 74- not sure about my alt - I don't drink ever:
I had been on the following:
augmentin ( 10 days) 25 days before blood test
niquil nightly for around 5 nights - same time as above
zocor
tylenol pm for about 7/8 nights
16 senekot ( senna) tablets over about 3 weeks

Any input is much appreciated - I have had my blood taken for 5 years every 6 months prior w/ no problem - all within range
Thanks so much for any help....

I was on zocor for a long time;
I was on augmentin from Frb 1 Feb 10
I took the senna for 2 weeks before blood test
I took Nyquil and tylenol pm perhaps 2 weeks before test

I understand that the augmentin elevations usually don't even happen until  coouple of weeks after STOPPING
thanks again...

took the blood test March 6

Augmentin and Zocor have been known to be potentially hepatotoxic. Tylenol is safe, if it is taken as directed (less than 4,000 mg/daily). I imagine that those 3 drugs taken together can increase the potential for damage to the liver.

Have you talked with your doctor about possibly substituting another lipid lowering drug...and getting off the Zocor? Are you still taking Augmentin?

Remember to be careful about your tylenol intake...which means that if you are taking Tylenol pm, don't mix it with Nyquil or regular strength tylenol. Its safe as long as you take it as recommended.
