Tylenol. Imprinted With AZ 285. Is It 285 Or 235?
I've read the posts and continue to have the same question as one of the previous bloggers. I have some over the counter meds that are imprinted with AZ 285. The reply to the previous person was that the number must have been incorrect and that it had to be 235. I'm looking at mine now, and for certain it's 285. The 8 is divided down the middle. I think that it is Tylenol, I bought to put in Bridesmaids Survival Kits. I had planned to put a couple of pills into small bottles with the name and dosage in case the Bridesmaid had a headache on the morning of my daughter's wedding. I have already divided them into the bottles, and am making the labels now. However, I've thrown away the bottle and box with the info. Can you help me identify these pills?

Hello,
Although there are many combination of Tylenol is available. Usually it is AZ 235. Tylenol contain acetaminophen, which is very safe drug comparing to other pain killer. Therefore you just advice that if any need your daughter can take medicine every 4-6 hourly. Maximum 8 tablets per days.
Good luck. Take care.
