No, it doesn’t. It’s a common side effect of an over-the-counter antibiotic like tylenol or ibuprofen. Tylenol is actually a blood thinner that is used to prevent heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. It may also be prescribed for pain, headaches, and migraines.
It’s also used to help deal with constipation, and the manufacturer of tylenol says that, since it’s a blood thinner, it will help prevent heart attacks and strokes too. However, tylenol has been linked to a lot of other side effects too, including blurred vision, dizziness, and constipation. I’ve never had a problem with tylenol, but if I was pregnant, I’d definitely be on it the next time I needed to deal with constipation.
I wish I could say that I was so sure that the link between the blood thinner and constipation is purely coincidental, but the data I found suggests otherwise.
In a study of over 1,000 people, researchers found that a history of constipation was more common with tylenol and aspirin than with any other blood thinner. I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that tylenol caused constipation, but it’s an odd coincidence.
Tylenol and aspirin are two different blood thinners. A common side effect of both is constipation, so it’s not as if they’re being used together. However, the blood thinner’s presence can result in constipation.
While theyre both anti-inflammatory medications, tylenol and aspirin do not cause constipation. Thats exactly why tylenol causes constipation (its an anti-inflammatory) and aspirin doesnt. If theyre both causing constipation, then that would explain why theyre both causing constipation.
They are indeed causing constipation. In the case of aspirin, it is most likely caused by the anti-inflammatory properties of the medication. However, tylenol can cause constipation, which is an anti-inflammatory (in fact most anti-inflammatories cause constipation).
Well, you can of course take tylenol and not have a problem, and in fact people take tylenol for a wide variety of reasons. The most obvious are for the reduction of fever, and to prevent and treat infections. It is also considered a diuretic, which is a drug used to induce sweating that is also used to treat heartburn and gastric ulcers. However, tylenol is a prescription drug and can be prescribed by a doctor.
For constipation, the most obvious reason is to stop diarrhea. So how did we get to the point where someone would prescribe a drug to treat diarrhea in their friend? The other, less obvious prescription for constipation is to take tylenol to relieve the pain of your lower intestines when you do bowel movements.
In the real world, there is little evidence that tylenol is able to relieve constipation. A 2005 study found that people on tylenol and a placebo had the same rate of bowel movements.
