Table of contents:

Tylenol Regular is an over-the-counter medication indicated as a pain reliever and fever reducer. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, arthritis pain, toothaches, and the common cold.

Tylenol Regular contains 325mg of acetaminophen as its active ingredient. Acetaminophen works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain and inflammation. It works primarily in the nervous system, and it is thought to inhibit the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as prostaglandins which increase sensitivity to pain and fever.
