Tylenol PM Directions

Tylenol PM is a fast-acting medication that relieves aches and pains and helps induce sleep. The product is available in gelcaps, caplets and geltabs. The active ingredients in Tylenol PM are acetaminophen -- a non-aspirin pain reliever -- and diphenhydramine -- an antihistamine that treats symptoms of allergies and hay fever, and also causes drowsiness, which makes it effective as a mild sleep aid. The medicine is recommended for adults and children over the age of 12.
