Genexa Acetaminophen PM Extra Strength — Pain Relief & Sleep Aid
Clean-label nighttime formula with acetaminophen 500 mg + diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg per caplet.
Product Overview
Genexa’s Acetaminophen PM Extra Strength pairs a proven pain reliever with a nighttime sleep aid for those occasional evenings when aches make it hard to rest. The brand emphasizes dye-free, clean inactive ingredients while keeping the same active medications you’d expect in an OTC PM formula.
