Tylenol Medication Information

Many different nonprescription drugs are available to treat pain and inflammation, and Tylenol^® (acetaminophen) is one of the most well-known medications. It comes in several different forms, such as tablets, capsules, and a liquid, and is taken anywhere from every four to six hours, as needed.

 

In general, Tylenol is a safe product (even pregnant women can take it); however, as with any medicine, side effects are possible. Potentially serious ones include liver damage and ulcers or bleeding in the digestive tract. When taking this drug, inform your healthcare provider if you experience anything that "just does not seem right."
