Is it really bad to take Antibiotics/Paracetamol?

[Eya1234]

Hi All

Just a quick question, i have a liver fibrosis, so is it bad if i had to take antibiotics as well as paracetmol in like 5 consecutive days? I have a really bad flu and colds these days. Im just worrying about my liver. Thank u for those who will answer.

Good morning,

You are absolutely right to think carefully about what medicines you take when you have any liver condition.

If whoever prescribed your antibiotics and paracetamol is fully aware of your medical history, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Just make sure you follow the directions from the prescribing doctor and the enclosed patient information sheet. Should you still be unsure, speak to either the dispensing pharmacist or prescribing doctor.

In the meantime, take good care of yourself and make good use of the British Liver Trust website. britishlivertrust.org.uk/li...

As Jim said. As you are fibrotic your liver should tolerate those drugs well but always check.

Hi Eya

Yes exactly as Jim said👍

I was really concerned about taking co codamol (as they've cut my codiene down) for my periferal neuropathy as I'm in agony most days but my consultant says it's fine.

I think as long as you follow the dosage rules & your doctor is aware of your liver problems you'll be fine.

Take care lovely x

Antibiotics do not cure colds and flu!
