2. Tylenol Benefits
1. Pain relief
This is the most well-known effect. It can relieve pain such as headaches, toothaches, and stomachaches. It has a good absorption rate in the body, so the effect can appear within 30 minutes after taking it.
2. Relieve menstrual pain
It is suitable for relieving monthly menstrual pain as it does not develop tolerance. Menstrual cramps can be caused by concentration of moisture in the body, and by expelling this, the pain can be quickly relieved.
3. Antipyretic effect
It can be used as a fever-reducing painkiller when taken when you have a lot of fever due to the flu or coronavirus. It has the fastest absorption rate among painkillers but has a long-lasting effect.
4. No tolerance develops
This is an effect that many people misunderstand. Resistance to acetaminophen, a component of Tylenol, does not develop even when taken. (References)
5. Fewer side effects
It has the fewest side effects among painkillers. Various medications with the same painkiller effect can cause gastrointestinal problems, but Tylenol is a medically recommended painkiller because it has fewer side effects.
6. Compatibility with caffeine
Pharmacologically, it has better efficacy when taken with caffeine. Approximately 50g of caffeine is appropriate, and the effect is increased if you drink a cup of Americano after taking it.
7. Promotes mental health
If you have depression, taking Tylenol can be a good idea. This painkiller is said to have the ability to calm feelings associated with loneliness.
