A member asked:

I have an elevated alt it's 61... is that to high to take 650mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) every four hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Tylenol (acetaminophen) is only a liver poison at very high doses. You do need to find out why your ALT is elevated. It may be nothing more than your body asking for more exercise, but more serious illness needs to be ruled out
