Chances of damage to the liver on taking benedryl for a long term?
Patient: 6 months ago i completed hep c treatment i am also alcolic only 2 weeks sober when I had a liver biopsy done four years ago I was between stages 2 and 3 of my liver I consume alot of benedrye over several years I have used it place of alcohol may times what if any damage could the benedryl do to my liver im talking for periods of six month intervils around 100 a week Doctor: Hello, Hepatitis C and alcohol are the two main causes for liver cirrhosis. Benadryl,in large doses,cause liver damage and since you already are a patient of cirrhosis,you should not consume either alcohol or Benadryl.Better be away from these,otherwise it may progress towards end stage liver disease very fast. Best of luck Thanks
