Acetaminophen Could Lead To Liver Damage

Sept. 30, 2023 – Luckily, educating yourself on the risks of this medication is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and ensure you’re consuming it safely. “The primary concern stems from its easy accessibility and the lack of awareness about its potential toxicity among the general public,” Nanavati tells us.

Unfortunately, the signs of Acetaminophen overdose may take some time to develop. “Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may not become apparent until 12-24 hours after ingestion,” she says. “Jaundice, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin, typically emerges around the third day after consumption, accompanied by reduced urine output and mental confusion.” 

On the extreme end of things, liver failure from Acetaminophen overdose can be fatal, “manifesting symptoms such as bruising and bleeding due to decreased blood clotting factors.” If you’re concerned that you may be experiencing Acetaminophen overdose, it’s important to act quickly and contact a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Nanavati adds that “regular liver function tests can also serve as a preventive measure, alerting you to any potential harm before it becomes irreversible.”
