Hello, Hunny! How is he?
In such a case, emergency medical attention needs to be sought, by either taking him to the nearest ER, or calling emergency services.
If treated in time, there is a chance that a doctor can counteract the Acetaminophen toxicity and minimize the liver damage.
The FDA lists the typical side effects, in normal dosages, to possibly include nausea, dizziness and headache.
Can you please post back and update me?
I, too, had liver enzyme tests come back high (taking Percocet which has acetemonphin). I lrned hat taking Milk Thistle and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine). NAC is used in ERs when someone has ODed on Tylenol. With taking both of these supplements and monitoring my Tylenol usage to 4000 mg a day), I have been able to get my liver enzymes back in the normal range.
I had an ultrasound when my enzymes were high and they found I have NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with a dilated common bile duct (no stones/no tumor). All that can be done for that is to lose/maintain proper weight and exercise. Throughout my life starting in early teens I went up and down in weight and yo-yo dieted, with highest weight of 300 lbs in my early 20's and now I am 148 lbs and BMI of 24.7. I would like to lose more but I probably have 10-15 lbs of loose extra skin throughout my body (no gastric bypass...did it all my own).
Good Luck!
