I recently had high ggt levels..209.this dropped to 123 after stopping taking paracetamol regularly for a long time and watching my alcohol intake. I know alcohol effects the ggt but could paracetamol also?

Not sure what GGT is but too much (prescribed) paracetamol caused my AIH so I'm sure it can be disastrous?

Paracetamol can certainly cause major problems if you have been taking for a long period of time and also big amounts
