Can I take Tylenol Sore Throat Maximum Strength with Coumadin (warfarin)?
Overall, there have been very few reports of acetaminophen-associated effects on warfarin therapy. For decades, acetaminophen, the medicine in Tylenol, has been recognized as the over-the-counter pain reliever of choice for patients on warfarin therapy because Tylenol – unlike aspirin, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen and even ibuprofen – does not cause gastrointestinal bleeding, nor does it inhibit the aggregation of platelets critical to normal blood clotting. It is very important that patients on warfarin have their blood clotting function monitored by their doctor and not change over-the-counter pain relievers without first consulting their doctors. If you are under a doctor’s care for any serious condition or are taking any other drug, you should talk to your doctor if you want to know more or have other questions.
