Tylenol side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Tylenol: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

In rare cases, acetaminophen may cause a severe skin reaction that can be fatal, even if you took Tylenol in the past and had no reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.

Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have signs of liver problems:

• stomach pain (upper right side);
• loss of appetite;
• tiredness, itching;
• dark urine, clay-colored stools; or
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Less serious Tylenol side effects may be more likely, and you may have none at all

How should I take Tylenol?

Take Tylenol exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. An acetaminophen overdose can damage your liver or cause death.
