Fast and Effective Pain Relief
Acetaminophen is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer, commonly found in first aid kits for treating minor aches and pains. Our single-serving packets, available in both regular strength and extra strength, each contain two pills, making them a convenient addition to any first aid kit. Acetaminophen is known by many brand names, including Tylenol®, Mapap®, and Panadol®, and is trusted by millions of people for fast and effective relief.
Common Uses
Acetaminophen is often used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It is commonly taken for:
- Headaches – A quick and effective way to reduce headache pain, including tension headaches.
- Muscle Aches and Soreness – Helps ease muscle discomfort from exercise, physical work, or minor injuries.
- Joint Pain – Provides relief for mild arthritis pain and other joint discomfort.
- Toothaches – A great option for temporary relief from dental pain before seeing a dentist.
- Menstrual Cramps – A trusted choice for managing period-related discomfort.
- Cold and Flu Symptoms – Helps reduce fever and aches associated with colds or the flu.
Regular Strength vs. Extra Strength
Our first aid kits include both regular strength and extra strength acetaminophen packets. The difference between the two lies in the dosage per pill:
- Regular Strength Acetaminophen – Each pill contains 325mg of acetaminophen, for a total of 650mg per packet (2 pills). This is ideal for mild to moderate pain relief.
- Extra Strength Acetaminophen – Each pill contains 500mg of acetaminophen, for a total of 1000mg per packet (2 pills). This provides stronger relief for more intense pain.
Why Single-Serving Packets?
Our single-serving packets are designed for convenience and safety. Each packet contains two pills, providing the recommended dose in a sealed, easy-to-carry format.
Portability
The compact size of these packets makes them perfect for travel, work, or outdoor activities. They fit easily into first aid kits, purses, backpacks, and glove compartments.
Hygiene & Freshness
Since each packet is individually sealed, the pills stay fresh and protected from contamination. This is especially important when carrying medication in first aid kits exposed to the elements.
Pre-Measured Dosage
Each packet contains the proper dosage, so there’s no need to measure or count pills. This reduces the risk of taking too much or too little.
Safe Use and Precautions
Acetaminophen is a safe and effective medication when taken as directed, but it’s important to follow the recommended guidelines:
- Do Not Exceed the Recommended Dosage – Taking too much acetaminophen can cause serious liver damage. Never take more than 4,000mg (8 extra strength pills) in a 24-hour period.
- Avoid Mixing with Alcohol – Drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen increases the risk of liver damage.
- Be Aware of Other Medications – Many cold, flu, and pain-relief medications already contain acetaminophen. Check labels to avoid accidentally exceeding the recommended dose.
- Consult a Doctor If Needed – If pain or fever lasts more than a few days, seek medical advice.
