FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- To assist travelers whose headaches occur when they are in cars, riding on trains or negotiating airport security checkpoints, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., today announced the launch of EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL(R) GoTabs(TM), the first-ever adult chewable TYLENOL(R) tablets.
TYLENOL(R) GoTabs(TM) are the ideal solution for travelers, especially airline passengers unsure about what forms of medication are permitted on commercial flights, drivers stuck in traffic or commuters dealing with train and bus delays. The chewable tablets contain 500 milligrams of EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL, are available in a Spearmint Ice flavor and quickly dissolve without need for water, an important feature given the confusion among airline passengers about what items are permitted on flights.
“The Tylenol brand is committed to providing innovative solutions that help its consumers live a more pain-free existence,” said Ashley McEvoy, General Manager, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the makers of TYLENOL(R). “GoTabs(TM) help solve a fundamental challenge by providing pain relief at the moments and situations when it’s most necessary.”
TYLENOL(R) GoTabs(TM) come packaged in six-count blister packs that are small enough to slip easily into a jacket pocket, briefcase or purse. Because they require no water, they are expected to appeal to consumers on-the-go or those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
TYLENOL(R) is the best-selling pain reliever in the U.S. and has fifty- years of clinical history to support its safety and efficacy. When used as directed, TYLENOL(R) has a superior safety profile compared with many other OTC pain relievers. Acetaminophen, the medicine in TYLENOL(R), is one of the most studied drugs in the world. However all medicines carry risks of possible side effects. The makers of TYLENOL(R) strongly recommend consumers read the product label for dosing information and only use TYLENOL(R) as directed. Consumers should talk with their healthcare professional if they have any questions or concerns.
