A quick guess would be....don't take Acetominophin pain killers. Isn't that

what Tylenol has in it?

There has been a lot of research on Tylenol (acetominophin) being hard on the

liver. And it's in a lot of prescription pain meds. I remember a particular

study where the conclusion was that it was hard enough on the liver that people

who drink alcohol should never take tylenol.

Yes Tylenol is aceto whatever and yes it is hard on the liver. Always has been,

always will be (until they change the chemistry). If you were around when it

first got approved and read about the history, you'd know the crap that went on

to get it approved. FDA doesn't force companies to do long term studies

anymore. So how in the heck would they know if it did liver damage? The proof

is in the ER room. Ask any ER nurse or doctor.
