Warnings on a common painkiller raise liver damage cases
An American study revealed a significant 400% increase in cases of liver damage related to calls to poison control centers between 2000 and 2024, with medications—especially the drug "Tylenol" (acetaminophen)—being responsible for the overwhelming majority of these cases. Data showed that approximately 33% of men and 45% of women suffer from liver injuries caused by "Tylenol," despite an 85% decline in related injury cases after establishing a maximum allowed content in pharmaceutical products. Medications remain the main cause, with lesser contributions from alcohol, drugs, and dietary supplements. The findings highlight the importance of using medications cautiously and under medical supervision to prevent liver damage.
