It doesn't have blood-thinning effects as aspirin does. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, the only time you should avoid Tylenol is if you're allergic to it or if you have a history of liver problems.

Does paracetamol or ibuprofen thin blood?

Official Answer. Yes, ibuprofen (Advil) is considered a blood thinner. It doesn't actually "thin" your blood, but slows down your blood clotting time. For example, if you cut yourself or have an injury where you bleed, it may take longer for you to form a blood clot.
