What is TYLENOL® PRECISE®?

TYLENOL® PRECISE® is a line of over-the-counter topical pain relief products designed to temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint pain at the site of application.

Unlike oral pain relievers, TYLENOL® PRECISE® products are applied directly to the skin, so pain relief stays focused where you need it most.

Most TYLENOL® PRECISE® creams and patches are formulated with maximum strength* 4% lidocaine, a topical analgesic that targets pain receptor nerves to help block pain signals, so you can get back to moving comfortably.

  • Targeted, penetrating pain relief

  • Rapid-absorbing, non-greasy formulas

  • Contains no acetaminophen and works directly at the source of pain

  • Hands-free rollerball or patch application

*Maximum strength lidocaine without a prescription

How does TYLENOL® PRECISE® work?

TYLENOL® PRECISE® pain-relieving creams and patches work by delivering topical analgesic ingredients through the skin to help target pain at the source.

How lidocaine works for muscle and joint pain

  • Helps blocks pain signals at the nerves

  • Temporarily numbs sore muscles and joints

  • Provides targeted relief

Some formulas also include menthol or camphor, which create cooling or warming sensations to help soothe sore areas.

Where to apply TYLENOL® PRECISE®

TYLENOL® PRECISE® topical pain relief products can be applied to common areas affected by minor muscle and joint pain, including:

Back & Shoulders

Back & shoulders

Legs & Hips

Knees, elbows, & ankles

The precision rollerball applicator delivers consistent, mess-free coverage — ideal for hard-to-reach areas.

FAQs

Common ingredients include lidocaine (numbing), menthol (cooling), and camphor (for warming and cooling). Each works differently depending on the type of pain and sensation you prefer. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about which product is right for you.

Lidocaine helps target nerves to block pain signals, while menthol creates a cooling sensation that helps soothe muscles. Some TYLENOL® PRECISE® products include both.

TYLENOL® PRECISE® can help temporarily relieve minor joint pain. Arthritis is a chronic condition, so talk to a healthcare professional about what options are appropriate for you.

Topical pain relievers provide temporary relief. Ongoing pain may require rest, stretching, or guidance from a healthcare professional. Stop use and ask a doctor if your condition worsens, or symptoms persist for more than seven days, or if symptoms clear up and occur again within a few days.

Do not use TYLENOL® PRECISE® patches with a heating pad. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
