Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

It is good that you have stopped drinking alcohol 2 week back. I hope you are not experiencing any withdrawal symptoms.

In my opinion, You can continue with milk thistle and paracetamol tablets, but inform and show prescription to drug testing authority during your medical checkup.

If you are experiencing withdrawal or craving, you can take help of nearby de addiction specialist or psychiatrist.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.
