My wife drinks and her liver is really bad,is there a pill she can take to help her thats over the counter,?

No....she has to stop drinking and the liver and pancrease will heal itself unless cirrosis has started...no drug available for this...the answer is abstanance from alcohol.

No.

But is a med that can be prescriped that will make her nausious when she drinks, so she should talk to her doctor about it.

It helps jump-start many folks who want to stop drinking.

Be well.

Sorry to say that the only thing that might possibly help her is to stop drinking. All that alcohol abuse causes a lot of inflammation to the liver. Over years this inflammation will cause scar tissue to form in her liver rather than healthy tissue. Scar tissue is permanant liver damage called cirrhosis which never leaves and only gets worse. I don't know how bad her liver is right now, but once the disease is far advanced, it will progress to total liver failure no matter what you do to try and stop it. You never want to reach that point. Since alcohol is the reason her liver is inflammed, she has to stop poisoning the liver with more alcohol which just causes more scar tissue and liver failure. There is no miracle pill that will stop this assault on her liver while she drinks. You must take away whatever is harming the liver in the first place.

I don't want to scare you, but it needs to be said that if she has a bad liver and continues to drink, it will eventually take her life. If the doctor is saying her liver is bad, then most likely she could be in the more advanced stage of liver failure already. There are alcoholics who have gotten liver transplants if they are totally committed to have a total lifestyle change and remain sober for the rest of their life. It's very difficult to get one and the first requirement for an alcoholic is to have 6 months of detox before they will even consider you for one. I just wanted to mention it since it might be the only thing that could save her life if her liver is getting close to total failure.
