I dunno. When I had surgery four years ago, Tylenol was the only pain relief I was allowed to take for weeks leading up to the surgery. That's because the other things on the market are blood thinners, and Tylenol is not.
You do need to take it with food to protect the internal organs. I keep the dosage as low as possible when I've needed it.
It's actually the #1 pain relief med used in hospitals.
"The regular surveys conducted by McNeil show that, while most doctors recommended the drug, they also told patients to take the medication at doses far less than the daily maximum allowed by the federal government, according to the previously undisclosed documents.
The reason? Doctors worried that what the government and company described as the maximum safe dose of the active ingredient in Tylenol, a compound called acetaminophen, was too close to the level that can damage the liver and even lead to death."
