Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is a medication used to relieve pain and fever. It is a common ingredient in over-the-counter pain relievers, such as Tylenol and Panadol. The correct pronunciation of acetaminophen is “a-SEE-tuh-MIN-oh-fen”.
Acetaminophen is a safe and effective pain reliever for most people. However, it is important to take it as directed and to avoid taking too much, as this can lead to serious side effects, including liver damage.
