This was especially the case in heavy caffeine drinkers according to a study done by the University of Washington in Seattle.

This is the first study to link the combination of caffeine with acetaminophen or Tylenol with livr damage.

The researchers stated that they found that consuming the medication Tylenol and caffeine can scar the tissue of the liver. A link was also found with liver damage and medications which include caffeine and acetaminophen together.

Drugs such as Excedrin and Anacin are used to treat migraines and arthritis but may do damage to the liver when taken too regularly.

Consumers are being told to limit their intake of caffeine which includes drinking coffee or other energy drinks such as Red Bull while taking Tylenol or anything else which contains acetaminophen.
