Having Kidney Problems. Can I Take Tylenol For Toothache?
Brief Answer:
Safe to take tylenol
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thank you for sending in your query.
Tylenol (which contains acetaminophen) is a commonly prescribed analgesic for patients with kidney problems.
It has no adverse effects on the kidneys in the usually prescribed doses.
So it is OK for you to take tylenol.
In case you have inadequate relief with plain tylenol, you could try tylenol #3 under the supervision of your doctor.
I hope this was helpful.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
