Tylenol (/ˈtaɪlənɒl/) is a brand of medication, advertised for reducing pain, reducing fever, and relieving the symptoms of allergies, cold, cough, headache, and influenza. The active ingredient of its original flagship product is paracetamol (known in the United States, Canada, and various other countries as acetaminophen), an analgesic and antipyretic. Like the words paracetamol and acetaminophen, the brand name Tylenol is derived from a chemical name for the compound, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP).^[1] The brand name is owned by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Kenvue.^{[2][failed verification]}
