Acetaminophen can increase the results of your INR, meaning your blood would be thinner. You should consult with your physician regarding Tylenol usage as the frequency of testing your PT/INR may need to be increased. However, Tylenol generally has a limited effect on INR's. Consuming the maximum dosage of 4g (4000mg) generally effects the INR very little.
