I never take acetaminophen or ibuprofen, just aspirin.

The only reason acetaminophen and ibuprofen were invented was so they could be under patent and cost more, but the patents on both ran out long ago.

Aspirin works better and is safer.

I am still highly suspicious of Tylenol.

Tylenol promoter scared us all so much about aspirin that even I am reticent to give my now-teen son aspirin.

Even more absurd, it’s become the med for heart problem prevention. Stupid commercial about a guy on a plane with pain rebuffs the stewardess who offers aspirin, saying, “I’m not having a heart attack”! Is it really that bad that people think it’s just a clot preventative etc?

All this so Tylenol could take its place on the shelf and get all the money.

“Aspirin works better and is safer.”

I prefer aspirin, but with blood thinners NSAIDs are taboo. It’s acetaminophen or nothing. Fortunately, I rarely have to take anything for pain.
