Hi,
Thanks for asking the query.
Numerous medications are known to affect the liver enzymes. Tyelnol is one of them.
If you do not have any symptoms like jaundice, dark yellow urine or pale stools - you can stop the medication and repeat after fifteen days. If you have any of the symptoms, further investigation might be necessary.
You need to rule out causes like hepatitis or obstructive jaundice.
Get a bilirubin level done, both total, direct and indirect. If normal, nothing to worry and you can stop the medication

Any further query, happy to help again.
I find this answer helpful
