My friend has always avoided tylenol. 3 years ago, after a very serious injury, that state is serious about narcotics, and he couldn't tolerate celebrex. The MD told him to take 3 arthritis strenght tylenol(650mg) every 4 hours and 5 ibuprofen no sooner than every 3 hours. This was well above the label directions, unless prescribed by MD. MD did a liver workup and said it would be no problem. My friend was able to reduce his intake to 2-3 ASTs every 4 to 5 hours, and 3-5 ibuprofen with them, after about two years. He developed skin problems, and happened across a pain management clinic across the state line, and ceased all the tylenol and ibuprofen. After breaking a leg and weathering a hurricane, doctor told him recently the leg hasn't healed because of leukemia, and when he went for chemo, his hepatitis was too bad for chemo. Never had either of those before, nor any symptoms of hepatitis. Computer research on websites indicate the tylenol probably killed his liver.
