08:25 Share

We have an 18 year old male with a past medical history of depression and anxiety who presents with remorse following an intentional ingestion of anything he could find in his parents medicine cabinet.

He believes he took about a handful of tylenol tablets and thinks they were about 10 pills of 500 mg extended release tablets.

It's the most commonly used fever reducing and pain control agent on the market. 

The most common cause of liver injury is drug induced, and half the cases, are due to Tylenol. 

This is why it's so important to know what to how to identify and manage these patients. 

So, let's dive in on learning about Tylenol overdose.
