My understanding, from speaking to docs, is that if your liver function is compromised in some way, that amount can be less.<br />I'd never risk the double stress on the liver.rapopodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413215670441671568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-50634218591542710782013-10-23T10:27:22.564-07:002013-10-23T10:27:22.564-07:00My doctor recommends larger-than-normal single dos...My doctor recommends larger-than-normal single doses of painkillers when one truly feels symptoms.

We take pain killers a lot of the time because we think of them as making us better.
