Tylenol

Tylenol is a common over-the-counter medication containing acetaminophen, used primarily to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain. It works by affecting the brain chemicals that influence pain perception and temperature regulation. Tylenol is generally considered safe when taken as directed but can cause liver damage if overused or combined with alcohol. It is a preferred choice for pain relief when nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not suitable. Always follow dosage instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have liver issues or are taking other medications.
