ACETOMINOPHEN (TYLEONOL) are to be avoided by most kidney doctors. These medications can impair kidney function. The difficulty with taking tylenol for a long period of time (greater than occasional usage of 1 tablet every 3 months) is that kidney damaging effects are cumulative, over an entire lifetime. A prospective study out of Australia showed the long term use of tylenol caused kidney failure in individuals without any prior kidney disease. Tylenol remains the number one cause of liver failure in the USA.
