What is "Tylenol"?
Tylenol, a brand of acetaminophen, is widely used to ease pain and reduce fever. It works by stopping the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and fever. Tylenol is commonly used to ease minor aches and pains associated with conditions like headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and the common cold. It is generally considered safe when taken as instructed, but excessive use can lead to liver damage.
