12 Dec 05 Tylenol is the leading cause of liver failure
On digg.com:
“Acetaminophen/paracetamol (AKA Tylenol) is the leading cause of acute liver failure. The number of cases doubled between 1998 and 2003. Which I find interesting, because over the last several years, regular strength (325mg) Tylenol has been gradually disappearing in favor of the extra-strength (500mg) varieties.”
That there is scary. I had no idea that Tylenol is that dangerous. Scary thing is I am allergic to ibuprofen so Tylenol is one of the alternatives I take. Guess I’ll start taking Aleve now, too bad that Aleve is the most expensive thing out there.
