TYLENOL^® is safe and effective when used as directed. We do not recommend using any products beyond their expiration date. If your product has expired, please contact your local pharmacy to learn about how to properly discard it and obtain a new product.

We continue to experience high consumer demand driven by an extremely challenging cold & flu season. While products may be less readily available at some stores, we are not experiencing widespread shortages of Children’s TYLENOL^®. We recognize this may be challenging for parents and caregivers, and are doing everything we can to make sure people have access to the products they need, including maximizing our production capacity, running our sites 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and continuously shipping out product. We will continue to partner with retailers to provide these products to consumers.

It is important that consumers always read and follow the product label of any TYLENOL^® product and only use such products as directed.

1. Extra Strength TYLENOL^® products are intended for adults and children 12 years and older and should not be administered to children younger than 12 years.

2. Regular Strength TYLENOL^® products are intended for adults and children 6 years and older and should not be administered to children younger than 6 years.

Per the label, parents and caregivers of young children should ask their doctor if their child’s age is below the directed dosing instructions or if they have questions.

TYLENOL^® should not be used with other products containing acetaminophen (prescription or non-prescription). Always read and follow the medicine label for product information, including warnings. If you are currently under a doctor’s care for any serious condition, or have any other questions or concerns about taking TYLENOL^®, you should ask your doctor before use.

Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in TYLENOL^®. TYLENOL^® products do not contain aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen, the active ingredients found in other nonprescription pain relievers. Each of these active ingredients relieves pain, but they work differently.

TYLENOL® products should be used as directed on the drug facts label. TYLENOL® liquid products or TYLENOL® Dissolve Packs provide an alternative to crushing a solid dosage form.

TYLENOL® 8 HR Arthritis Pain and TYLENOL® 8 HR Muscle Aches and Pain should be swallowed whole. Do not cut, chew, crush, split or dissolve. These products are formulated for extended-release of medicine and chewing, crushing, splitting or dissolving would alter the release of the medicine and may result in a shorter duration of activity. Please refer to the drug facts label for instructions on how to take the product.
