Acetaminophen Tablet Extended Release: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions
Brand names: Acetaminophen
# Acetaminophen Tablet Extended Release Overview Acetaminophen tablet extended release is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works slowly over time. It's used to treat minor aches and pains from headaches, muscular aches, backache, minor arthritis pain, the common cold, toothache, menstrual cramps, and to reduce fever. The word "extended release" means the medicine releases slowly into your body over several hours, so you don't have to take it as often as regular acetaminophen tablets. It's important to use this medicine safely. Never take more than the recommended dose, and don't take it for more than 10 days unless a doctor tells you to. Don't combine this medicine with other products that contain acetaminophen, since taking too much can damage your liver. Stop using it and call a doctor if you develop a rash, blistering, or any unusual reactions. Keep this medicine away from children, store it at room temperature, and talk to your doctor before using it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver disease.
