Suggest Treatment For Severe Nausea After Taking Acetaminophen With Codeine
Hello, about 3 weeks ago I took a lot of acetaminophen with codeine. About 60 tablets with 8mg codeine and 300mg acetaminophen each. I was very sick for 3-4 days. I mostly feel ok now, but often feel nauseous and a bit spacey, and light-headed. Should I check with a doctor about permanent liver damage? Thanks.

Suggest Treatment For Severe Nausea After Taking Acetaminophen With Codeine
Hi, Yes, intake of Acetaminophen more than 3-4 grams a day can cause liver damage. First, you may quit the drug, use tablet Pantoprazole. If vomiting occurs taking tablet Ondansetron. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and do liver function tests and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
