Global Patient Feedback for Acetaminophen ( Post a comment )
Question/Comment:
I've recently had a large bruise appear overnight ( a black eyelid). Could this be an interaction with taking paracetamol occasionally and with aspirin as an anti-clotting drug?

iGuard.org Answer/Reply:
Tylenol and aspirin are not the same medication - each works a little differently. Tylenol is used to treat pain and fever. Aspirin treats pain, fever and inflammation. Because Tylenol works differently than aspirin, it does not have the same side effects or drug interactions as aspirin. Before taking any over-the-counter pain medication, you should always talk your doctor about which one is best for you.

iGuard.org Answer/Reply:
Actually, Tylenol is the most commonly used medication for pain among iGuard members. Ultram (tramadol) and narcotic products like hydrocodone, Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen), oxycodone, and morphine are prescription medications often used for more severe pain. Lyrica (pregabalin) and Neurontin (gabapentin) are FDA approved for treating nerve pain.

Question/Comment:
Been using acetaminophen for years for various aches and pains, specially arthritis. A recent SCAN showed numerous kysts on my kidneys and the first question the radiologist asked was "are you taking Tylenol ?" Wonder if he meant that such finding could be related to a side effect of acetaminophen ! He would not realy give me a straight answer.

Works for my migraines. I prefer Tylenol with Codiene over Vicodin. Tylenol does not make me tired. I can still function where as Vicodin I fall asleep or feel dizzy and cant do my daily activities.

Question/Comment:
Which is more effective for fever reduction - tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil (ibuprofen)? And which one is safer?
32 year old Female
Posted: 2008-01-20 14:42:56
iGuard.org Answer/Reply:
Different answers for both of them! Acetaminophen is centrally acting and fever reducing, so is good for mild to moderate pains associated with cold and flu. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs act on inflammation, and are good for joint pain etc. Long term use of acetaminophen can cause liver problems if used in higher doses... whereas NSAIDs like ibuprofen are associated with an increased risk of gastric bleeding. As always, the benefit/risk profile for each product will depend upon the condition you're trying to treat.
