What is Tylenol?
Tylenol is a brand-name family of pain relief products with the active ingredient, acetaminophen. These products include regular strength, extra strength, children's strength, infant's strength, and rapid-release acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer unrelated to aspirin and ibuprofen, which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and related drugs reduce swelling as relieve pain and reduce fever. Acetaminophen only reduces pain.
Other product lines feature cold and flu symptom relief, congestion relief, fever relief, and pain relief products for arthritis, joint pain, and muscle pain. Many of these products have additional active ingredients, such as antihistamines (chlorpheniramine or doxylamine succinate), decongestants (phenylephrine), expectorants (guaifenesin), and cough suppressants (dextromethorphan). Both Tylenol PM and Tylenol Simply Sleep contain an antihistamine, diphenhydramine, intended to induce sleepiness. If you have questions about any of these other ingredients, search the SingleCare website or app for more information.
Tylenol is administered as a tablet, chewable tablet, capsule, syrup, or oral solution depending on the product.
What are the side effects of Tylenol?
Tylenol's most common side effects will depend on the product and its active ingredients. For the most part, side effects will be uncommon and minimal.
All Tylenol products with the exception of Tylenol Simply Sleep contain acetaminophen. Cold, sinus, flu, and nighttime products will contain additional active ingredients. The most common side effects of acetaminophen are nausea, stomach upset, loss of appetite, diarrhea, itching, rash, headache, and dark urine. Acetaminophen may cause severe allergic reactions on the skin that may require hospitalization. Look for signs of a skin reaction such as rash, reddening, blisters, peeling, or sore throat. Get immediate medical attention if you believe you are having an allergic reaction to any Tylenol product.
Follow the dosing or your doctor's instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dose. Acetaminophen is toxic to the liver. Acetaminophen overdose is the most common form of poisoning in the United States and could be fatal.
