Acetaminophen Capsules 500mg (minis-red Opaque): Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: Pain Reliever

# Overview of Acetaminophen Capsules 500mg Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer that many people use to feel better when they're sick or hurt. These mini red capsules contain 500 milligrams of acetaminophen in each one. You can take them to help with headaches, muscle aches, backaches, the common cold, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and to reduce fevers. It's one of the most common over-the-counter medicines that people reach for when they need quick relief from pain and fever. It's really important to use acetaminophen safely. Never take more than the recommended amount, because too much can seriously hurt your liver. Don't use this medicine if you're allergic to acetaminophen, and keep it away from children who might accidentally take too much. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using it. Also, check with your pharmacist before mixing this medicine with other drugs you're taking, since some medicines contain acetaminophen already and taking too much from different sources is dangerous. If you have questions about how much to take or when to take it, ask your doctor or pharmacist—they can give you personalized advice for your situation.
