It depends on the medication. Some medications harm the liver and others don't; whether they are prescription or not is irrelevant. For example, paracetamol (Tylenol) can immediately destroy your liver and kill you if you take too much, whereas morphine (a prescription painkiller) will never cause damage at any reasonable dose.
