“Shouldn’t be hard to boycott Tylenol, there are plenty of generic alternative”

I can’t take aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications so I take generic Tylenol but labels don’t say who makes it any more, they say made for or distributed by. the cone I’m taking now says “Not distributed by McNeil, the distributors of Tylenol”. It says it’s distributed by Sam’s, it could still be made by J&J.

More likely your generic version of Tylenol was made by a lab in India or some other far east or Latin American nation. I don't think American drug distributors are required by law to disclose the country where their products were made. I know that several of the generic medications I take are made in foreign countries but I wouldn't know that if I hadn't read the fine print. They seem to work as well as any others I take regularly, but I would still prefer them to be made here.
