View full FDA label ↗Pain Reliever PM Extra Strength is a medication used to help relieve occasional headaches and minor aches and pains, especially when they come with trouble sleeping. It works by combining ingredients that help reduce pain and promote sleep. For adults and children aged 12 and over, the recommended way to take it is by swallowing 2 caplets at bedtime, but you should not take more than 2 caplets in a 24-hour period. A key warning to keep in mind is that taking more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in a day can lead to severe liver damage, so it's important to avoid other products containing acetaminophen while using this medication. Additionally, if you are taking the blood thinner warfarin, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
