As the title says, is it safe to take Tylenol while drinking earl grey tea? I know that some medications and interact with herbs. Is this one of those combinations?

1. Yes, it's perfectly safe.
2. Earl Grey tea is not an "herb".
3. Kevin Trudeau is a scam artist, not a reliable source for health care information.

There's no interaction b/w the two. I'm a pharmacist, and Tylenol only interacts with people who have liver disease.

Medications that can harm the liver (Hepatotoxic drugs) interacts with GREEN TEA
Green tea extracts might harm the liver. Taking green tea extracts along with medication that might also harm the liver can increase the risk of liver damage. Do not take green tea extracts if you are taking a medication that can harm the liver.
Some medications that can harm the liver include acetaminophen (Tylenol and others), amiodarone (Cordarone), carbamazepine (Tegretol), isoniazid (INH), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), methyldopa (Aldomet), fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), erythromycin (Erythrocin, Ilosone, others), phenytoin (Dilantin) , lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), simvastatin (Zocor), and many others.

In a word, YES.
Acetaminophen and caffeine actually work well together, but not as well as caffeine and plain old aspirin.

It is never O.K. to take any non perscription drugs! Read Kevin Trudeau's book Natural Cures and do yourself a favour!
