three_ster's Full Review: Tylenol Extra Strength Pain Reliever Fever Reducer...
Tylenol is a great over-the-counter medicine that works well when it comes to dealing with pain. This particular version of Tylenol is their Extra Strength Caplet, which comes in packages of 50, 100, or 325 per bottle. It is also sold in small packages of two, which can be found at counters in many drugstores or convenience stores.
I have purchased many different Tylenol products over the years, and this particular one made it into my medicine cabinet mostly because it was on sale at the time. Normally I purchase the gel-coated caps, because they are easier for me to swallow without water, but these ones need the water because of their shape and size. Each one is slightly elongated, and tends to dissolve in your mouth more quickly than some of the other coated caplets. Taking them with water takes care of that issue though.
The Tylenol Caplets are considered a pain reliever, and its primary use has followed those guidelines. These include use for headaches, muscular aches, backaches, or minor pains associated with the cold or from arthritis. For each of those instances, I have tried the Tylenol Extra Strength, and have found it to work pretty well in all instances. For headaches, these have worked best before taking a quick nap, which has resulted in immediate relief when I awoke. At other times I have used them to recover from soreness as a result of several sports that I play in my free time.
Additional uses that these caplets can be used for include aiding in the fight against the common cold, relieving a toothache, a tool against the flu, or even for pre-menstrual and menstrual cramps. As you can see, there are many different uses for these Caplets, but I have primarily enjoyed them as a pain reliever on many different occasions. One of the advertising stances that Tylenol has used, is that these are great to take if you are fighting a fever, because it can help to reduce it quickly.
No matter what size package you decide to purchase, each of the caplets is 500 milligrams of Acetaminophen. Adults and children over 12 years of age are instructed to take 2 caplets every 4 to 6 hours as needed, and I have found that in most cases the first two caplets are more than enough for me. If I still have pains later on in the day, I will take another 2 caplets. The packaging warns that you should not take more than 8 of these caplets in any 24-hour period.
Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets are easy to find at nearly any store that sells drugs/medicines, and is readily available for the responsible end user. I highly recommend it as a great tool to fight against the aches and pains that seem to come with our daily lives, or as a pro-active fever reducer.
