Tylenol ( /ˈtaɪlənɒl/) is a North American brand of drugs advertised for relieving pain, reducing fever, and relieving the symptoms of allergies, cold, cough, and flu. The active ingredient of its original, flagship product, paracetamol (called acetaminophen in North America), is marketed as an analgesic and antipyretic. Like the words "acetaminophen" and "paracetamol", the brand name is derived from the chemical name for the compound, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP).[1] The brand is owned by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson
