Clinical
Acetaminophen is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to reduce fever. Acetaminophen is in a class of medications called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). It works by changing the way the body senses pain and by cooling the body.
Read the full MedlinePlus article ↗This is an over-the-counter monograph kit containing daytime and nighttime formulations to manage cold and flu symptoms. The daytime product contains dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant), guaifenesin (an expectorant to help clear mucus), phenylephrine (a nasal decongestant), and acetaminophen (for pain and fever). The nighttime formula adds diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is commonly included in nighttime cold products. Together, these ingredients are typically combined to address congestion, cough, and general cold and flu discomfort.
