You are having blood work done and the Dr said not to take any Tylenol you just remembered you have been taking 1 Tylenol pm every night how long should you wait before you have the blood work done?
Well first the reason that the doctor told you not to take Tylenol is because the Tylenol thins the blood, causing the blood to clot less. If your blood clots less then you could lose large amount of blood when you get a cut or scrape. The reason for this is because when you get a cut or scrape and start bleeding the blood starts clotting at the surface creating a scab, which stops the bleeding. If the blood does not clot and create a scab then the wound will just keep bleeding until taken care of properly. Now depending on how long you have been taking a Tylenol pm every night depends on how long you need to let your heart recycle the blood and produce more platelets, which helps the blood to clot. I would say how ever many days in a row you have been taking a Tylenol, you should stop and give yourself the exact amount of days before you have the blood work done.
