Acetaminophen is a medicine used to relieve pain and reduce fever.
Description
This drug is available without a prescription. Acetaminophen-or APAP-is sold under various brand names, including Tylenol, Panadol, Aspirin Free Anacin, and Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache Pain Relief Formula. Many multi-symptom cold, flu, and sinus medicines also contain acetaminophen. Check the ingredients listed on the container to see if acetaminophen is included in the product.
Studies have shown that acetaminophen relieves pain and reduces fever about as well as aspirin. But differences between these two common drugs exist. Acetaminophen is less likely than aspirin to irritate the stomach. However, unlike aspirin, acetaminophen does not reduce the redness, stiffness, or swelling that accompany Arthritis.

∙ 14y agoNo. Tylenol is acetaminophen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug similar to aspirin and ibuprofen. It will not get you high, no matter how much you take, but it can destroy your liver in large quantities, especially combined with alcohol. (NEVER use it for a hangover!)

"Class" is a bit ambiguous."Tylenol 2" refers to a specific brand and formulation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and codeine.
