Tylenol is an anti-inflammatory drug also known as acetaminophen. It may seem harmless, but simple little overdoses over just a few days can lead to life-threatening results. Studies found that 37 percent of patients who did consistent small overdoses each day died compared to only 27 percent of patients that did a single large overdose. Tylenol is the most common drug in America and the most commonly overdosed. Other illnesses linked with acetaminophen are: blood cancer, asthma, brain damage and increased blood pressure. [1]
Try to stay away from Tylenol and use other methods of pain relief such as krill oil that is packed with omega-3s that have anti-inflammatory properties!
