I know that pharbetol is Tylenol plus one ingredient which I don't know and after seeing side effects list, I wonder if it has NSAID properties. I'm not supposed to take NSAIDS due to CKD but was recently prescribed it following hospitalization.
How do I know if pharbetol is an NSAID or not?

Pharbetol belongs to the drug class of Miscellaneous Analgesics.
Generic name: Acetaminophen
Pharbetol is used to reduce fever and relieve minor pain caused by conditions such as colds or flu, headache, muscle aches, arthritis, and menstrual cramps.
Pharbetol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Miscellaneous analgesics are those analgesics that don’t fit into a particular class of analgesic because they work in a different way to relieve pain. That means they do not work like an opioid, nor do they work like an NSAID.
