Features● The active ingredient in Tylenol A, acetaminophen, has two effects: antipyretic and analgesic.● It primarily acts on the “temperature regulation center” in the brain, dilating blood vessels to release heat from the body and lower fever.● It is believed to alleviate various types of pain, such as headaches, menstrual cramps, and joint pain, by suppressing substances that transmit information about fever and pain in the brain.●The stomach naturally produces prostaglandins (PG), substances that protect the stomach lining from stomach acid.●Tylenol A has minimal effect on these PG, allowing it to be taken on an empty stomach with ease. However, during colds with chills and fever, it is recommended to avoid taking it on an empty stomach whenever possible.
