Linked Established Between Tylenol and Liver Damage:<\/h2>\n

Acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used over the counter (OTC) drugs sold in the United States. Acetaminophen can be found in numerous over the counter and prescription based products including Tylenol, Excedrin, and opiate based Vicodin and Percocet. Based on numerous studies establishing a causal relationship between the intake of acetaminophen and liver failure the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established an advisory committee meeting reporting stating, “the taking of more than the recommender amount can cause liver damage ranging from abnormalities in liver function blood tests, to acute liver failure, and even death.”<\/p>\n

Why Does Tylenol Use Lead To Liver Failure<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

As acetaminophen breaks down in the liver it is converted to the toxic chemical metabolite. Toxic metabolite binds with the structure of the liver resulting in protein breakdown. In a recent study the majority of acute liver failures in the United States is linked to the use of Acetaminophen medication. In reaction the FDA issues a public education campaign aimed at reducing the incidence of Tylenol over used and overdose in the United States. In 2009 the FDA issued a requirement for black box warnings regarding acute liver failure to be immediately placed in products containing acetaminophen.<\/p>\n
