Vit C in the stomach and digestive system at the same time as a TCA will reduce its effectiveness. So, don't down your pill with a big glass of orange juice.
Tylenol is just fine to take with it.
And lastly, as I have asked my G-doc and my P-doc about the TCA/tobacco interaction, two different opinions. One is yes, it takes more to be effective and the other is no, it takes less because the active metabolites circulate longer, and are not processed as quickly or as efficiently.
Either way, the interaction is supposedly *very* mild (both doc's opinions).
Hopefully, someone else can answer that last more definitively.
