Tylenol PM
Tylenol PM is a nighttime pain reliever with ingredients that will help you fall asleep. This product relieves minor aches and pains while helping you fall asleep, and it is non-habit forming when you take it as directed.
Infant Tylenol
Infant Tylenol won't upset your baby's tummy and has 160 mg of acetaminophen to reduce fever in infants and babies. This product works differently than other pain and fever medications, and temporarily relieves common problems like toothaches, light fevers, headache, or aches and pains due to flu, a sore throat, and the common cold.
Tylenol Dosage
Always read the dosing information on the package of Tylenol you use to confirm that you are taking the correct amount. You may take Tylenol whenever you need to relieve minor aches and pains but never exceed the recommended dose. If you're unsure about how much to take, talk to your doctor before you take Tylenol.
Tylenol Side Effects
Some side effects of Tylenol may include upset stomach, loss of appetite, nausea, or headache. If you experience a rash, itchy skin, dizziness, or any other severe side effects, stop taking Tylenol and talk to your doctor right away.
Is Tylenol An NSAID or Acetaminophen?
Tylenol is not an NSAID, which is an anti-inflammatory drug. Tylenol products contain acetaminophen, a non-aspiring pain reliever that can help relieve fever and headaches as well as many other common aches and pains.
Is Tylenol A Blood Thinner?
Tylenol is not a blood thinner, but it may have some mild blood-thinning effects. Talk to your doctor if you currently take blood thinners or if you're concerned about how Tylenol may react with your other medications.
How Often Can You Take Tylenol?
Most Tylenol products can be taken every four to six hours as needed. Tylenol typically lasts approximately four to six hours, but you may need to take it every four hours if your pain is ongoing or a bit more severe. Do not take more than 12 325 mg pills in a 24-hour period or more than six 500 mg pills in a 24-hour period.
Can You Take Tylenol When Pregnant?
Acetaminophen is one of the most common pain relievers recommended for pregnant women. If your doctor says it's ok, yes, you may take Tylenol when pregnant as needed.
