'''Tylenol PM''' is the [[trademark]] for a mixture of [[paracetamol]] (acetaminophen) and [[diphenhydramine]], distributed by [[Johnson & Johnson]]. It is marketed as a combined [[analgesic]] and [[sedative]], or more simply, pain reliever and sleep aid, intended to treat occasional [[headaches]] and minor aches and pains with accompanying [[sleeplessness]]. It is listed as non-habit forming.
Acetaminophen alone is sold as simply '''[[Tylenol]]''', while diphenhydramine alone is marketed as '''Simply Sleep''', and as '''[[Benadryl]]'''.
Diphenhydramine is an [[antihistamine]] and is also the active ingredient in Benadryl (allergies) and Benylin which is used in cough and cold therapy as an anti-cough (anti-tussive) with the drying effect of the anti-histamine. The drowsiness is caused by the antihistamine.
