Acetaminophen

Acetaminophen, widely known by brand names like Tylenol and Panadol, is a common over-the-counter medication used to treat mild-to-moderate pain and reduce fever. It is classified as an analgesic and antipyretic agent, acting on the central nervous system to relieve aches, headaches, and muscle cramps. While generally safe at recommended doses, excessive use can cause severe liver damage.
