When taken at recommended doses, acetaminophen, the medicine in TYLENOL®, is the preferred pain reliever for patients with chronic, stable liver disease.

If you are under a doctor's care for any serious condition, or are taking any other drugs, you should talk to your doctor before taking additional medications. If you are not sure if your medication contains acetaminophen, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not use TYLENOL® with other acetaminophen-containing products. Always read and follow label directions. Taking more than the recommended dose (overdose) of acetaminophen may cause liver damage.
