Tylenol is the brand name for a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to relieve minor pain and reduce fevers. Its primary ingredient is the drug acetaminophen. Consult your health care provider for proper dosage for age, weight and symptoms.
Tylenol is used to treat mild to moderate pain from conditions including headaches, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, sore throats, backaches, and toothaches. Because Tylenol is an anti-inflammatory medication, it is often recommended to reduce swelling. It is also helpful with reducing fever. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000521
