 Got this fast... but October 30, 2008
When it came in the mail, it was in a flat padded envelope. I open it and see the individual packaging, but not in the original box as seen in the picture. They must of took it out of a really big shipment and count it out then ship.
I like me stuff in the original package so I know its authentic.
But, since it didnt come that way, I was a little worried.
But then, I use a few of them anyways.
GL. Hope yours come in the original box for safty.
 Pain relief on the road October 30, 2008
Getting a headache or stubbing my toe is Standard Operation Procedure when I travel. Being able to reach for a conveniently placed pain reliever is a necessity for me. These packets are light and easily stored in my carry on. If you travel carry a few.
Tylenol's Active Ingredient is "Acetaminophen". September 1, 2005
4 out of 5 found this comment useful.
Tylenol is an over-the-counter medication that contains as its active ingredient "Acetaminophen". Acetaminophen is an analgesic drug that treats mild to moderate pain, making it a great headache reliever, or a medication that treats mild strains, sprains, toothaches, etc. It also acts to reduce fever. Acetaminophen is commonly used in place of aspirin for those allergic to aspirin. One drawback of Acetaminophen is that it does not reduce inflammation (therefore, it has limited use in arthritis swelling reduction). It has few side-effects. Those with liver disease should avoid Acetaminophen, as it is hard on the liver.
Tylenol (Acetaminophen) came into great prominence when aspirin fell out of favor due to the incidence of Reye's Syndrome and aspirin in children.
Tylenol is the manufacturer's proprietary name for Acetaminophen. There is a generic form of Acetaminophen that is also sold over the counter, and this version is much cheaper than "Tylenol", and the container usually contains more tablets/pills, etc. The generic form of Acetaminophen is just as effective as Tylenol, just cheaper priced.
Sometimes Acetaminophen is combined with other medications for dual action. For example, Tylenol PM has diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl), which causes sedation and acts like a good sleeping pill. Diphenhydramine also is an anti-histamine, so it work for itching and allergies too.
Tylenol is packaged in different strenghts: Extra-strength at 500 mg per tablet, Standard (325 mg per tablet), and and children's dose of 80 mg. Tylenol may also be packaged in a timed-release version, called "extended release". Rather than the tablet dissolving all at once in the stomach, the tablet slowly releases acetaminophen throughout the digestive tract.
All in all, Acetaminophen is a great product. If you want a "name brand" of Acetaminophen, Tylenol is your brand (although it will cost more). My choice is to by the generic brand as it is cheaper by the dozen.
