🔍 What is Acetaminophen?
Acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol) is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. It helps with headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, colds, and menstrual cramps—but it’s crucial to use it safely to avoid liver damage.

💊 Key Uses of Acetaminophen:
✔ Relieves mild to moderate pain (headaches, toothaches, back pain)
✔ Reduces fever
✔ Available in tablets, liquid, chewables, and suppositories

⚠ Serious Side Effects & Risks:
❌ Liver damage (from overdose or long-term use)
❌ Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
❌ Rare but severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome)

📌 Important Safety Tips:
🔹 Never exceed 4,000mg per day (3,000mg for chronic users)
🔹 Avoid alcohol (increases liver risk)
🔹 Check cold & flu meds (many contain hidden acetaminophen)
🔹 Children’s dosage must be weight-based—never use adult doses
