Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Liver: The short answer is that tylenol (acetaminophen) is used for transplant patients with certain restrictions: it can be safe. For a normal adult, no more than 2 grams/day with no alcohol. For a variety of reasons, even social alcohol and tylenol (acetaminophen) do not mix. Aspirin and nsaids should be avoided by those with liver disease. These are general guideliens, of course. Speak with your GI or liver specialist as needed.

It depends: Aspirin usually is okay but i would check with your pcp! tylenol (acetaminophen) is usually not a good choice since it can be toxic to the liver!

Tylenol (acetaminophen): Tylenol (acetaminophen) in large amounts can be toxic to liver. Aspirin might be ok if cleared by your pcp.
