Kroger Extra Strength Acetaminophen PM Caplet is a medication that helps provide temporary relief from occasional headaches and minor aches and pains, especially when they make it hard to sleep. It works by reducing pain and helping you feel more relaxed so you can rest. Adults and children aged 12 and over should take 2 caplets at bedtime, but you should not take more than 2 caplets in a 24-hour period. A key warning to remember is that taking more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in one day can cause severe liver damage, so it's important to avoid using it with other products that contain acetaminophen. If you are taking the blood thinner warfarin, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
