Early to late adolescence

In addition to common conditions like cold, flu, and allergies, adolescents may experience pain associated with their changing bodies. TYLENOL® offers a range of products to provide relief.

Early adolescence: 11 to 15 years

Recommend Children’s TYLENOL ® or TYLENOL ® for patients 11 to 15 years of age, depending on weight

From ages 11 to 15 years the body continues to change significantly. Female patients may begin to experience period cramps. Sports-related injuries like muscle sprains may also be common during this stage.

Pediatric TYLENOL® and MOTRIN® pain relief formulations are appropriate analgesic considerations for patients through age 11 weighing up to 95 lbs. TYLENOL® Regular Strength, TYLENOL® Extra Strength, TYLENOL® 8-Hour Muscle Aches & Pain, and MOTRIN® IB offer effective pain relief options for patients 12 years and older.

Middle adolescence: 15 to 18 years

TYLENOL® offers a variety of pain relief formulations for patients 12 years and older, including multi-symptom TYLENOL® Cold + Flu

As children continue growing toward adulthood, they may experience many of the same common conditions as adults – headaches, sinusitis, cold, flu, and more. TYLENOL® provides effective formulations to relieve the pain and fever associated with these conditions.

Late adolescence: 18 to 22 years

TYLENOL® provides effective pain relief for common conditions associated with every stage of adolescence

As patients transition from the final stage of adolescence to adulthood, headaches, cold and flu, and sports injuries may be among the common conditions they experience. Recommend TYLENOL® and TYLENOL® Cold + Flu to provide effective relief of pain and fever associated with these and other common conditions.
