View full FDA label ↗Dover Aminophen is a medication that temporarily relieves minor aches and pains, such as headaches, muscle aches, arthritis pain, backaches, toothaches, and menstrual cramps, while also reducing fever. It works by blocking pain signals in the brain. Adults and children aged 12 and older should take 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but should not exceed 10 tablets in a 24-hour period or use it for more than 10 days without a doctor's advice. A key warning to keep in mind is that taking more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in a day can cause severe liver damage. If you are taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin, it's important to consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
