Acetaminophen is a medicine used to relieve pain and reduce fever.
Description
This drug is available without a prescription. Acetaminophen-or APAP-is sold under various brand names, including Tylenol, Panadol, Aspirin Free Anacin, and Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache Pain Relief Formula. Many multi-symptom cold, flu, and sinus medicines also contain acetaminophen. Check the ingredients listed on the container to see if acetaminophen is included in the product.
Studies have shown that acetaminophen relieves pain and reduces fever about as well as aspirin. But differences between these two common drugs exist. Acetaminophen is less likely than aspirin to irritate the stomach. However, unlike aspirin, acetaminophen does not reduce the redness, stiffness, or swelling that accompany Arthritis.

What classification is Tylenol?
"Class" is a bit ambiguous."Tylenol 2" refers to a specific brand and formulation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and codeine.

Codeine is a narcotic (it also has other properties, such as being an antitussive (cough suppressant)).Codeine itself is a Schedule II drug, but when mixed with acetaminophen, it is usually classified as Schedule III (mixing it with acetaminophen reduces the abuse potential, because acetaminophen is toxic to the liver in doses much above the recommended therapeutic dose; this keeps people from just taking many Tylenol 2 pills to obtain a large dose of codeine).
