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 two multi-ingredient cold and flu products: a daytime formulation and a nighttime formulation. The daytime product contains acetaminophen (a pain reliever and fever reducer), dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant), guaifenesin (an expectorant to thin mucus), and phenylephrine (a nasal decongestant). The nighttime product adds triprolidine, an antihistamine typically used to reduce sneezing and runny nose. Together, these products are designed to address multiple cold and flu symptoms with different formulations for day and night use.
