TYLENOL® is the best-selling brand of pain reliever for adults in the U.S. and has fifty-years of clinical history to support its safety and efficacy. When used as directed, TYLENOL® has a superior safety profile compared with many other OTC pain relievers. Acetaminophen, the medicine in TYLENOL®, is one of the most studied drugs in the world. However all medicines carry risks of possible side effects. The makers of TYLENOL® strongly recommend consumers read the product label for dosing information and only use TYLENOL® as directed. TYLENOL® should not be used with other acetaminophen-containing products. Consumers should talk with their healthcare professional if they have any questions or concerns.
