TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry about finding Tylenol PM in Thailand sparked a discussion revealing that Tylenol PM, which contains paracetamol and the antihistamine diphenhydramine, is generally not available as a combined product in Thailand. Many comments suggest requesting paracetamol from local pharmacies, particularly near hospitals or smaller shops, as that ingredient is widely accessible. Alternatives like standalone antihistamines or combined medications (e.g., local products at 7-Eleven) are noted. Users advise learning the local name for medications and discuss variations in brand awareness among locals.

Every country has different brand names so it is best to know the molecule name (in this case you got paracetamol, not sure about the pm part of it though) and suddenly all pharmacies have them. I just google mine and they all pop up.

Paracetamol is more like aspirin

sorry, it's just that you said "close to"
Lynnette *******
@Oliver *********
the one he wanted was with an extra ingredient. Sorry, I meant that acetaminophen/paracetamol was close to what he wanted. And its different to aspirin.

@Lynnette ******
my understanding from the pharmacy i go to is paracetamol it not the same or similar to Tylenol. But also not the same as aspirin. But is for pain but not the anti inflammatory that Tylenol is

@Dan *********
Tylenol is acetaminophen. Close to paracetamol. But very different to aspirin.

@Lynnette ******

Strange why everyone is saying that people don't know Tylenol here. Tylenol brand is available at every 7-11 and Big C and Lotus and pretty much everywhere that sells paracetamol. It comes in a white strip of 10 caplets or in the normal bottles. As for the PM, they don't sell the version of Tylenol with Diphenhydramine in Thailand. You'll have to separately take Tylenol and antihistamines.

You must ask for paracetamol. They don't know tylenol. :)

Sara - paracetamol, very available.

Ya, many people wouldn't know what Tylenol is. You need to ask for, or look for "Paracetamol". Or get it translated.

Take the empty box to a little pharmacy run by a Thai not the big chemists stores, and ask them do they have it. Not sure when you live but in Patong you find little pharmacy in different areas

Facino, 711, many pharma have them. For some reasons, they are different to some people

Tylenol PM is basically paracetamol mixed with the antihistamine diphenhydramine which makes you drowsy. Both can be purchased over the counter very easily

There are no legal otc pm meds in Thailand
Jim *****
It’s just a brand , the ingredient is the same
J ******************
Best are chemists near a hospital
Lynnette *******
That's just a brand name for paracetamol.
Jennifer ********
@Lynnette ******
The 'PM' in what he's asking for is an additional ingredient, a sleep aid, so it's not just paracetamol..I doubt they have the equivalent to Tylenol PM otc in Thailand..
Lynnette *******
@Jennifer *******
ah. I see. Thought just normal Tylenol.

Thanks guys. I ask at the pharmacy but they didn’t say anything about a replacement
Bim *******
@Michael *************
check 711. They sell Tylenol in strips. They look like this.
Bim *******
@Lynnette ******
yep and every 711 sells it. Must be American as they tend to associate basic products with a brand name.
