What effect does acetaminophen have on your inr?
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.
