When you have arthritis, you want a pain reliever that works quickly and lasts all day.* TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain uses bi-layer technology, with one layer that dissolves quickly and a second, time-released layer that relieves pain for up to eight hours.
Doctors recommend TYLENOL® for osteoarthritis more than any other brand of pain reliever. It works with your body to block pain without irritating your stomach the way that aspirin or even ibuprofen can. And it doesn't interfere with certain high blood pressure medicines the way Aleve® sometimes can.
