View full FDA label ↗Pain Relief PM Extra Strength is a medication that helps provide temporary relief from occasional headaches and minor aches and pains, especially when they interfere with sleep. It works by combining ingredients that reduce pain and help you feel drowsy. For adults and children aged 12 and over, it is taken as 2 gelcaps at bedtime, and you should not take more than 2 gelcaps in a 24-hour period. A key warning is that it contains acetaminophen, which can cause severe liver damage if you take more than 4,000 mg in a day or use it with other products that also contain acetaminophen. If you are taking the blood thinner warfarin, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
