> My doc does not want me taking acetaminophen because she thinks it causes me to get elevated liver enzymes An uncle and some other older physicians who are on long-term measured acetaminophen usage reported supplementing their regimen with n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) with no apparent diminution in analgesic effect.
