Tylenol

Stocking up on medicines is part and parcel of every household’s supply shopping list. If you experience a headache, muscle pain, colds or fever an easy remedy is to simply reach for the medicine cupboard and take Acetaminophen or Tylenol. However, every drug has its side effects when you do not self-regulate consumption. As such, too much consumption poses risk to your general internal health. Overdosing of Tylenol can damage the liver. After taking Tylenol, most of the drug is metabolized by the liver and excreted through urination. However, some of the drug’s potent components are converted into toxic metabolite that can harm the liver cells.
