FAQs

TYLENOL® PM Extra Strength is a nighttime pain reliever and sleep aid that relieves minor aches and pains and helps you fall asleep. The two key TYLENOL® PM ingredients in each caplet are:

  • Acetaminophen, 500 mg, for pain relief

  • Diphenhydramine HCl, 25 mg, a nighttime sleep aid

This combination helps relieve pain that may keep you awake while also helping you fall asleep and stay asleep.

TYLENOL® PM contains acetaminophen (not an NSAID, like ibuprofen or naproxen) as its pain reliever and diphenhydramine HCl as its sleep aid.

Because it doesn’t contain an NSAID (like ibuprofen, which is found in Advil PM, and naproxen, which is found in Aleve PM), TYLENOL® PM may be a good pain reliever/nighttime sleep aid option for those whom an NSAID may not be appropriate.

The TYLENOL® PM dosage for adults and children 12 years and older is 2 TYLENOL® PM Extra Strength caplets at bedtime. Do not take more than 2 caplets in 24 hours.

Stop use and ask a doctor if sleeplessness persists continuously for more than 2 weeks. Insomnia may be a symptom of serious underlying medical illness.

TYLENOL® PM provides temporary relief for occasional headaches and minor aches and pains that are accompanied by sleeplessness. These types of pain may include:

  • Headache

  • Minor aches and pains

If you’re looking for something to take when pain keeps you up at night, TYLENOL® PM can help relieve minor pains so you can fall asleep more easily.

No. TYLENOL® PM is non-habit forming when used as directed. Even though diphenhydramine can help you fall asleep if you have difficulty falling asleep, TYLENOL® PM is not considered habit-forming. Always read and follow the label.

TYLENOL® PM is specifically formulated for minor aches and pains with accompanying sleeplessness. Its combination of acetaminophen and a nighttime sleep aid relieves minor pain and helps you fall asleep.

Stop use and ask a doctor if pain gets worse or lasts more than 10 days.
