Reasons to buy Tylenol include:

Tylenol is one of the safest drugs, so it is available at any pharmacy without prescription. Although, it’s advisable to turn to doctor before treatment and get to know about dosage and possible precautions.
Tylenol is taken inside. Syrup: every 4-6 hours, but no more than 4 times per day, for children 2-5 years - 5 ml, 6-11 years - 10 ml per reception. Tablets: Adults and children over 12 years - 1-2 tablets every 6 hours but not more than 8 tablets per day.
Like any other medication Tylenol has also precautions. So, pay attention on them, when going to treat with Tylenol.
Tylenol should not be taken simultaneously and within 2 weeks after discontinuation of MAO inhibitors, anxiolytic and sedative drugs. MAO inhibitors, anxiolytic, sedative drugs and beta-agonists increase the severity of side effects.
It is not recommended to combine Tylenol with other drugs containing paracetamol. For children up to 2 years (body weight to 11 kg) the dose is determined by your doctor. If fever or pain does not go away within 3 days you should consult a doctor. During the period of treatment should refrain from the use of ethanol (development of hepatotoxicity), driving vehicles and classes of other potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration of attention and quickness of psychomotor reactions.
