A pain reliever and fever reducer. Brand name: Tylenol.
The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not known. Acetaminophen relieves
pain by elevating the pain threshold (that is, by requiring a greater amount of
pain to develop before it is felt by a person). Acetaminophen reduces fever through
its action on the heat-regulating center (the "thermostat") of the brain. Generic
is available.
