Thank You. I have Hep. C, and I was told by my Dr., to stay away from Acetomenophen, but I can takeIbuprophen. Is motrin an ibuprophen? Secondly, what are other options for pain relief and/or fever reduction? Is there a list of yes & no for a person with Hep. C?
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Acetaminophen is rather safe until it is taken in safe dose that is less than 4 gm per day. Ibuprofen is rather unsafe as it can cause hepatitis. For pain, you can take tramadol also which is safe for you. Avoid alcohol, any Chat Doctor.  Get vaccination for hepatitis B and A. avoid high fat diet. DO regular exercise. Take lots of fruits and vegetables as they are rich in antioxidants hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
