Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetaminophen is known to cause liver damage in excessive amounts, and is commonly found in over-the-counter pain relievers such as Tylenol. Aspirin and antacids do not typically have significant effects on liver function. Cough suppressants may contain ingredients that can cause liver damage, but without further information it cannot be assumed that they are significant in this patient's case.
