Benadryl ingredants same as of tyneol?
Question:
Answers:
No. Tylenol is a mild pain reliever whose generic name is acetaminophen. Benadryl is an antihistamine whose generic name is diphendydramine hydrochloride. Both can help with mild discomforts, but they do it in different ways. Benedryl also has the side effect of making you relax and maybe even sleep--you will find it in medications for sleep saying its side effect is that it can dry you out a bit, and on allergy medications saying that its side effect is that it can make you sleepy.
There is a form of Tylenol to be taken at night, and if you look at the ingredients, it has diphenhydramine HCl in it (but not listed by its brand name of Benadryl!).
Since we are speaking of side effects and such, it is important to know that one should not take more than 4,000 milligrams (4 grams) of acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) in any 24 hour period as you risk damage to your liver.
tylenol is acetaminophen for pain
benadryl is an Antihistamine for allergies or rash
In the U.S., Benadryl is diphenhydramine, a first generation antihistamine. It is also formulated in combination with other active ingredients and sold under variations of the Benadryl name.
Tylenol is a popular American brand of drugs for relieving pain, reducing fever, and relieving the symptoms of allergies, cold, cough, and the flu. Tylenol is sold by Johnson & Johnson. The active ingredient of its original, flagship product, acetaminophen (called "paracetamol" outside of North America), is marketed for headaches, fever, muscle and body pain, arthritis, and joint pain. Like the words "acetaminophen" and "paracetamol", the brand name is derived from the chemical name for the compound, N-aceTYL-p-aminophENOL (APAP). It is available over the counter without prescription, has few side effects, and reacts with very few medications. In addition to products related to allergies and cold, Johnson & Johnson also sells a stronger pain reliever containing codeine.
