How many of you have Tylenol in your medicine cabinet? Did you
know the highest
recommended
dose sharply increases liver enzymes in healthy adults? This is
an early
warning
sign of possible organ damage. Even those people taking Tylenol
as a cold
remedy
as well as pain reliever at the recommended dosage could be
damaging their
liver.
We know that over the counter drugs are the leading cause of
acute liver failure in
the
U.S. England, showing concerns for suicide attempts as well as
drug toxicity,
restricts
how many pills can be sold at one time.
A study done by Purdue Pharma showed that out of 196 patients
studied, 39% taking
Tylenol
experienced increased liver enzymes more than 3 times the upper
limit of
normal.
25% had enzyme levels exceeding five times the normal range and
8% had
eight
times the normal amount of enzymes. THREE TIMES the normal level
is considered
the
threshold of concern for possible liver damage.
McNeil Consume Healthcare, the unit of Johnson & Johnson that
markets Tylenol, said
this
latest study ran counter to previous research sponsored by their
company. Should
we
be concerned? Very much so. Check out all the over the counter
drugs that include
Tylenol
and you will be amazed at how much Acetaminophen the average
family is
ingesting
on a regular basis.
The Natural Medicine Clinic has seen the writing on the wall for
some time now and
only
recommends safe and effective pain relievers such an Enzyme
Plus, as well as FDA
regulated
homeopathics. Both products are safe for the whole family.
Please choose
wisely.
