Acetaminophen Pain Killer Can Mess Up Your Liver!
If trying to get pain free doesn’t kill you, it might mess up your liver!
So, the researchers were looking at a combination drug to determine why those taking the drug experienced elevated liver enzymes; they expected the interaction of the drug components to be at fault. One of the drug components happened to be acetaminophen, the common pain killer in Tylenol.
And guess what they found? It was the acetaminophen (Tylenol) — and that alone that was responsible for the alarming liver test results! Study participants were taking the upper level of recommended amounts, but still… it would surely be preferable not to take any.
Thankfully for those with chronic pain, there is a non-drug alternative for pain relief!
