Hello and welcome to HCM,
Tylenol is proprietary name for paracetamol.
Paracetamol is a very safe drug with minimal side effects.
Long term usage can cause gastritis and regurgitation although the incidence is low.
Very large dose of the drug can cause liver injury however, your intake is only 2 pills a day.
Thus, you can take proton pump inhibitor in the morning empty stmach if gastritis appears.
You can get a prescription from your primary healthcare provider.
Thanks and take care
