Yes, acetaminophen can be used for chronic pain management, but long-term use increases the risk of liver damage, especially at high doses or combined with alcohol.
Acetaminophen is suitable for chronic pain but carries risks. Prolonged use can lead to liver toxicity, potentially resulting in liver failure, especially when dosages exceed recommended levels.
