View full FDA label ↗Circle K Pain Reliever Extra Strength is a medication that helps temporarily relieve minor aches and pains from conditions like headaches, backaches, toothaches, and menstrual cramps, as well as reducing fever. It works by blocking pain signals in the brain and reducing inflammation. Adults and children aged 12 and older should take 2 tablets every 6 hours while symptoms last, but should not exceed 6 tablets in a 24-hour period or use it for more than 10 days without a doctor's advice. A key warning is that taking too much can lead to severe liver damage, especially if you consume more than 3 alcoholic drinks a day or take other medications containing acetaminophen. If you're taking the blood thinner warfarin, it's important to consult a doctor before using this medication.
