Alcoholism
Major:
Tylenol Extra Strength
The acetaminophen in Tylenol Extra Strength has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Chronic alcohol abusers may be at increased risk of hepatotoxicity during treatment with acetaminophen (APAP). Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure resulting in liver transplant and death, has been reported in patients using acetaminophen. Therapy with acetaminophen should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day. In general, patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure. They should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of liver injury such as fever, rash, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, and jaundice.
Dehydration
Major:
Tylenol Extra Strength
The acetaminophen in Tylenol Extra Strength has a major potential interaction with Dehydration.
Acetaminophen is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk of toxicity. Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure and death, have been reported in patients using this drug. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is recommended. Caution is advised if using acetaminophen in patients with chronic malnutrition or severe hypovolemia. Instruct patients to avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure.
History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder
Moderate:
avatrombopag
Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.
Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).
Liver Disease
Major:
Tylenol Extra Strength
The acetaminophen in Tylenol Extra Strength has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Acetaminophen is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk of toxicity. Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure and death, have been reported in patients using this drug. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is recommended. Caution is advised if using acetaminophen in patients with chronic malnutrition or severe hypovolemia. Instruct patients to avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure.
Malnourishment
Major:
Tylenol Extra Strength
The acetaminophen in Tylenol Extra Strength has a major potential interaction with Malnourishment.
Acetaminophen is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk of toxicity. Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure and death, have been reported in patients using this drug. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is recommended. Caution is advised if using acetaminophen in patients with chronic malnutrition or severe hypovolemia. Instruct patients to avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications.

Moderate:
Tylenol Extra Strength
The acetaminophen in Tylenol Extra Strength has a moderate potential interaction with Phenylketonuria.
Several oral acetaminophen and acetaminophen-combination products, particularly flavored chewable tablets, contain the artificial sweetener, aspartame (NutraSweet). Aspartame is converted to phenylalanine in the gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. Chewable and effervescent formulations of acetaminophen products may also contain phenylalanine. The aspartame/phenylalanine content should be considered when these products are used in patients who must restrict their intake of phenylalanine (i.e. phenylketonurics).
Protein C Deficiency
Moderate:
avatrombopag
Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Protein C Deficiency.
Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
avatrombopag
Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
The effect of severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min) including patients requiring hemodialysis on avatrombopag pharmacokinetics is unknown. Caution and monitoring is advised.
Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder
Moderate:
avatrombopag
Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.
Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).
