Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be dangerous if used incorrectly
Since it is widely available, most people assume it’s harmless. However, like all medications, acetaminophen can produce harmful side-effects, especially when used incorrectly or abused.
While acetaminophen is safe for most people (when used correctly), it is known to increase liver enzyme levels, creating a potential for damage to the liver.
In fact, acetaminophen overdose (intentional or accidental) is a leading cause of serious (even fatal) liver damage. There is also evidence that long-term use of acetaminophen may damage liver function.
Use acetaminophen and all pain medications with care.
