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.
