Is Taking Tylenol Safe After Alcohol Intake?
Hi, i had 1 beer with dinner about 3.5 hours ago. The beer was 5.5 percent alcohol. I am now home and took 2 tylenol PM for a headache not realizing i had a beer earlier. Is this something to really worry about? Im already an anxious person, im trying to calm myself

Hi
Brief answer:
Yes , you can take it.
Detailed answer:
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
See , there are many drugs that causes reaction (disulfiram reaction ) when taken immediately after alcohol , which causes serious body reaction. But tylenol is not one of them.So , you can take it.
But it is advisable not to take any medication immediately after having any alcoholic beverage.
I hope this information helps.
Thank you.
