Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets (500 mg, 100 caplets) — Canada's most-trusted acetaminophen pain reliever for headaches, body aches, fever, and arthritis pain. Available at The Boardwalk Pharmacy in Waterloo with free local delivery and same-day pickup.
Each caplet contains 500 mg of acetaminophen, which works centrally in the brain to reduce the perception of pain and lower fever. It's gentle on the stomach (unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen) and can be taken on an empty stomach.

- 500 mg acetaminophen per caplet — extra strength
- 100 caplets per bottle — economy size for households

Frequently asked questions
Q: How much Tylenol Extra Strength can I take in a day?
For healthy adults, the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is 4,000 mg (8 caplets) over 24 hours, with at least 4–6 hours between doses. If you have liver disease, drink alcohol regularly, or take other acetaminophen-containing products (cold/flu remedies, sleep aids), the safe limit may be lower — check with us.
Q: Can I take Tylenol with ibuprofen (Advil)?
Yes — they work through different mechanisms and can be taken together or alternated for stronger pain relief. Many doctors recommend alternating them every 3 hours for severe pain (e.g., post-surgery, dental pain).
Q: Is Tylenol safe during pregnancy?
Acetaminophen is the first-line pain reliever recommended in pregnancy at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed. Always check with your OB or midwife first.
Q: What's the difference between Tylenol caplets and Tylenol tablets?
Same active ingredient and strength — caplets are coated and oval, easier for some people to swallow. Tablets are usually round and uncoated. Both work identically.
From The Boardwalk Pharmacy team
Watch your daily acetaminophen total carefully — it's in many cold/flu products like NeoCitran and Tylenol Cold, so it's easy to accidentally exceed the daily limit. If you take Tylenol regularly for chronic pain, drop in for a quick chat — we can help you build a pain plan that's safer long-term.
