Can Tylenol cause liver problems for teenagers?

Yes, but if taken as directed it shouldn't be a problem. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in tylenol. It's also is what the majority of vicodin is, although the active ingredient in vicodin is hydrocodone, there's a hundred times as much acetominophen in each pill as hydrocodone. The vicodin most prescribed is 500mg of acetaminophen and 5mg of hydrocodone. People who overuse vicodin often have health problems more related to acetopminophen than the opiate, because it's bad for the liver and stomach. But I'm talking people that pop 2000-5000 mg a day, regular strength tylenol is 325mg and is taken for a short period of time.

Horrible, fat is the worse of all of above, the liver has to work ten times as much and yet reject it, then it will deposit lipids around the walls of the arteries creating a dangerous build up, starch creates minor problems and protein is a not to worry about, just stay away from those hamburgers..☺

The Tylenol will not affect you liver as much as the drinking will.  \n\nAlcohol causes cirrhosis of the liver.\n\nTylenol is acetaminophen and has a less likely chance of causing liver damage than Advil or any other type of ibuprofen.

An overdose of paracetamol causes liver damage that, if not treated quickly, is very dangerous. As little as 10-15g (20- 30 tablets) taken in one go can be fatal. A paracetamol overdose is particularly dangerous because the damage sometimes isn't apparent for 4-6 days after the drug has been taken. So, even if someone who has taken a paracetamol overdose seems fine and doesn't have any symptoms, it is vital that they are taken to hospital urgently. More rarely, paracetamol overdose can also cause severe kidney damage.

He is a teenager i assume and if he is thats how most teenagers behave andlike to upset their parents. Hormones are going crazy hopfully it will just be a phase like mine was. Also could be for attention and teenagers tend to be really gloomy and depressed BUTTT at the same time we are a nation where most of the population is becoming depressed and suicide rate is increasing. It sucks because we dont know if they are being serious or looking for attention. My advice is...really keep an eye on him if he brings something up again or tries to hurt himself.. call the police and they will decide if he needs to be put  into a hospital. If he was only looking for attention i can pretty much promise you that he will not pull any of those stunts again. lol If he was serious well then hopefully he gets the help he needs. I was put on effexor for a year and it has reallllllly helped me big  time!!!  short term side effects ( sleepy) and after that I felt great! After being on it a year my doctor weened me off it and I am  doing good on my own. No one has to stay on medication forever just until it fixes the chemical imbalence if it can. Good luck!

Tylenol and alcohol are bad on your liver.  Best to wait the next morning to take Excedrin.  Drink plenty of fluids, especially room temperature Gatorade, as it restores the dehydration from the alcohol, plus it restores the electrolytes.  The reason for it being room temp is that anything ice cold can make you sick to your stomach.  Eat a light meal, but drink loads of Gatorade.  Good Luck!!  I feel for you as I have been down that path before, lol.  Not sure about aspirin and alcohol... Try going to www.webmd as that is a great site for medical questions.

no, but overdosing in pain relievers will cause liver damage in the future.

The 'pm' part of Tylenol pm is Benadryl (diphenhydramine) which is an antihistamine.  Some people do have a restless feeling associated with taking antihistamines in higher doses.  As another person who answered this question rightly pointed out, Tylenol taken in high doses can be toxic to your liver.  To be safe be sure your total intake of Tylenol does not exceed 4 grams per day (1 extra strength Tylenol = 0.5 gram).  Seriously, back off on all of that Tylenol.  If you are taking them for the sleep-inducing effect then consider taking benadryl alone - it is a pretty safe medication but anything has the potential to cause harm if you ingest enough.\n\nNow for the real issue - why aren't you sleeping?  It may make sense for you to consider the elements of 'sleep hygeine.'  In short, sleep hygiene are things you can do without medication to enhance your own ability to sleep - like eliminate caffiene, exercise, etc.  Try doing a search on any search engine for the list.  Follow the advice strictly for a couple of weeks before you decide if its working or not.  These are good habits to adopt for a lifetime, regardless.  If it is not working then consider making an appointment with your doctor to discuss and treat your condition further.  Sweet dreams.

Try doing a 'net search on "liver congestion" or "liver overload."  The liver has over 500 known functions.  A liver that is overloaded and incapable of taking care of body needs can cause a wide variety of symptoms. This is because the liver has so many separate and distinct functions, affecting health in many ways. \n\nRemoving poisons from your body is an important function of the liver.  In fact, this is one of the main reasons the liver becomes overloaded.  Poisons may enter your body in many ways.  You may inhale the poisons sprayed on your lawn, insecticides and household cleaning solvents, or chemicals  used in a hobby, such as photography.  These are all known poisons and should be avoided as much as possible.\n\nAlso, medications purchased and used so freely in our culture, put a significant extra load on the liver and can eventually be harmful.\n\nChemicals used as preservatives, stabilizers, artificial flavorings, artificial colorings and to aid in the processing of foods are all potential problems regarding liver function.  Add to all this smog, aerosol sprays (perfumes, hair sprays, deodorants, room fresheners, insect repellents, dusting aids), alcohol, and many other varied poisons in our environment and you can see how the liver may become overworked and ultimately damaged.\n\nThe liver is a major storage area for carbohydrates and proteins.  Ordinarily the liver stores very little fat; it should normally contain 3% to 5%.  There are several reasons that too much fat or fat-like substances accumulate in the liver.  People with poor protein intake have more fat in the liver because certain substances in protein are essential in breaking down fat.  Without these substances, fat is deposited rather than used. Conversely, too much protein in the diet causes a liver overload because the liver must eliminate the waste products from the protein breakdown.  Consumption of too many refined carbohydrates and/or too much alcohol can cause an elevation of triglycerides, which are fat in nature and accumulate in the liver, causing congestion and interference with normal liver function.\n\nSymptoms of liver overload may be aches and pains, severe fatigue, digestive disturbances, swelling, a constant chilled feeling, and poor appetite. There may be an inability to tolerate medications due to improper breakdown and elimination of the drugs, with an increased number of side effects.

Take it to a pharmacy or the doctor and find out from them. If you have a teenager in the house run run to the pharmacy.

I think it's to check and see how well your liver is functioning. I work with adolescent boys and unfortunately, they are on various psychotropic drugs that can have damaging effects on the liver. The doctor usually orders the metabolic panel to check up on them. \nThe liver comes in contact with everything we put in our bodies so we must not neglect it. \nHope this helps.

the max dose of acetamenophin per day is 4.5 gm or 4500 mg.  Anything over this is harmful to the liver.  But do tell her to get help for her behavior!  It's not right for her to manipulate others feelings with threats of suicide!

They put stress on your liver and kidneys.  They cause constipation.  They can lead to heart problems.

It all depends on the drug.  Mixing uppers and downers(alcohol is a downer) is a good way to give yourself a heart attack.  Tylenol & booze can cause serious liver problems (even when it isn't taken in 'abuse' doses).  Sometimes certian perscriptions say to avoid alcohol because it lessens the effect of the drug.  For example, antibiotics say don't take with alcohol, but that's because alcohol can cancel some of the effects of the antibiotic... so you may stay sick, but you won't get any sicker.  Obviously, it is not a good idea to mix drugs & alcohol, but if you do be really careful.  You get much more drunk or high doing both at once.  It might sound good, but it could definitely be a bad thing when you wake up next to Chewbaka... or in the gutter.
