Dologesic


Generic Name: Acetaminophen/Phenyltoloxamine Capsules and Tablets (ah-seet-ah-MIN-oh-fen/fen-ill-tole-OX-a-meen)

Treating mild to moderate aches and pains associated with headache, muscle and joint soreness, backache, menstrual cramps, colds and flu, sinusitis, toothache, and minor pain from arthritis, and to reduce fever. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
