| Acetaminophen is a pain reliever
and fever reducer. It is the main ingredient found in brand-name
Tylenol which helps to relieve head, muscle, and backaches, toothache,
and menstrual cramps according to the Tylenol website. It is also
found in many products that are used to treat the common cold.
Acetaminophen can be purchased over the counter in the form of tablets,
capsules, chewable tablets, gelcaps, or liquid, and should be taken as
directed. It is important to health and wellness because it can be
used to treat minor pain, instead of using a narcotic pain medicine. |
