Tylenol sells products to relieve pain, allergies, and cold- and flu- related symptoms. Allergy and cold products also contain dextromethorphan, antihistamines, and expectorants. A class of stronger pain relievers contains codeine (Tylenol 3). Acetaminophen is also found in other narcotic based analgesics such as Percocet which contains oxycodone.
Unlike NSAIDs, acetaminophen is not particularly effective against pain from inflammatory disorders, since it doesn't reduce the underlying inflammation.
The normal maximum dose for acetaminophen per day is 65 mg/kg or 4 grams per day whichever is less. Certain patients, such as those on medications processed by the liver or diseases of the liver (e.g., Hepatitis A, B, or C), may for safety need to take far lower dosages. Acetaminophen should not be used for over two weeks without seeking medical advice.
