Acetaminophen Tablets 500 Mg: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: Extra Strength Pain Reliever

# Acetaminophen Tablets 500 mg Overview Acetaminophen is a common pain reliever and fever reducer that many people use to feel better when they're sick or hurting. These 500 mg tablets work by helping your body reduce pain from headaches, muscle aches, backaches, minor arthritis pain, and the common cold. The medicine also helps bring down fevers. You can find acetaminophen in many over-the-counter products, and it's been used safely by millions of people for many years. However, it's important to use acetaminophen safely and correctly. Never take more than the recommended dose, and don't use it for more than 10 days without talking to a doctor. Be careful because acetaminophen is found in many other medicines too—if you take multiple products, you could accidentally take too much, which can damage your liver. Don't give this medicine to children under 12 years old without asking a pharmacist first, and keep all medicines out of reach of young children. If you're pregnant, nursing a baby, or have liver problems, talk to your doctor before taking acetaminophen. Stop taking it and call a doctor if you develop a rash, have trouble breathing, or experience severe stomach pain.
