What is Tylenol?

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is one of the most popular, widely-used medications in the world, taken to treat mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and for cough, cold, and flu. Acetaminophen is also an ingredient in hundreds of medications that are available over-the-counter (OTC) or in prescription-strength. Tylenol was initially approved by the FDA in 1951. Because it has a relatively long history, many people may be unaware that it has recently been linked to high numbers of liver injuries.
