Is Tylenol a blood thinning agent?

Answer 1

It would probably not be a good idea to use tyenol with a blodd thineer... Your blood count may decrease. It has a similar mechanism to Asprin which is a COX-1 and COX-2 inhibtor. So to a certain extent it contatin a blood thinner but not as much as aspirin. Tyelenol is reffered to as acetimnophen. Please pray for me to get a position residecny no matter what GOD WILLING

Answer 2

No. Technically the only "blood thinner" is water. If you consume massive amounts of water, the density of your blood will become less.

What I believe you to be seeking is if acetaminophen acts as an anticoagulant. And, yes, it does. Acetaminophen is a mild anticoagulant, that is it will affect the clotting factorof your blood and can cause complications with increased bleeding. If you are on another anticoagulant such as clopidogrel bisulfate (brand name, Plavix), or if you drink alcohol with it, serious complications can arise.

Answer 3

Tylenol is not recognized as a blood thinning agent in the same way as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other NSAIDs (Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs). That is why people who take blood thinner medications (like coumadin) to manage their blood clotting ability are permitted to take Tylenol but not the NSAIS drugs.

Well at some points it is but no not typically

Answer 4

Yes.
