TYLENOL® Easy to Swallow Extra Strength Caplets vs. Select OTC Pain Relief
Compare common over the counter (OTC) pain relievers (including both oral and topical forms) to determine what product(s) may be right for you. For those who may have difficulty swallowing pills, certain analgesic forms may be more appropriate for you.
