Tylenol
Chemical Formula:
C8H9NO2
Molecular Weight:
151.16
Macroscopic Appearance:
Acetaminophen is a white, crystalline powder
What Tylenol is?
Tylenol is an anodyne used for relieving mild pain,aches and assuaging fever.Acetaminophen basically belongs to a category of drugs known as analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers).
What the chemists say?
Some chemists hold the opinion that this medicine may only be utillized for cure of inflammation,but their claim is somewhat far from reality as it is actually much more than that. Yes, it does deal with inflammatory cases but only with some such as ankle sprains.
Pain ease and the function of brain:
Recent studies into the subject of Acetaminophen, however, suggest that it actually limits the ability of the brain to sense the pain without interacting with the site of pain. Although the complete mechanism for its action has not so far been discovered but it has been prescribed by doctors all over the world for …show more content…
At present,Tylenol is the most commonly used over-the-counter (OTC) pain relief medication in USA. Americans use nearly 8 billion tablets/capsules of Tylenol each year.This figure multiplies every new year.
Side Effects:
1. It may cause allergic reactions but only to those who aren't used to it.
2.Excessive usage of acetaminophen may cause serious damages like acute liver failure.
3.It may result in jaundice,itching,nausea,stomache,unusual stools,etc.
4.It sometimes reduces the diet intake of an individual.
5.Tylenol overdose can pose a serious threat to a person's life.
6. It may cause serious reactions to human skin such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP),Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) ;which can ultimately result in rashes,flu-related symptoms,scarring,blistering, changes to skin pigment, organ damage and even
