Umm it is actually well documented that even a small overdose of paracetamol /acetaminophen can cause severe organ damage like liver failure. I remember reading about someone a looong time (maybe 10 years) ago who took the meds just slightly out of schedule, not even a "proper od", and within a few days they were in critical care with either liver or kidney damage, can't remember which.
So yeah, there's a reason why you don't take more than the recommended dosage of that particular drug, and never more than the total in that 24 span. It's also why I use primarily ibuprofen for any pain relief, as it just fucks up your stomach usually if you get it even a little bit wrong. Paracetamol fucks up everything if even your timing is off.
Yup tylenol is toxic asf to the liver. Many people have no idea of this.
Yeah I only take CBD now. I am looking into other natural pain killers. I don’t trust 99% of medicines now.
A friend's mom died of liver failure after a small amount. She already had been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and knew not to take "Tylenol" but I guess she did not read the ingredients in the cold medication she took (1000 mg of acetaminophen per adult dose). Dead within two days. I have not taken anything with acetaminophen since my friend told me what happened. If you absolutely have to take tylenol, get you some NAC to help your liver cope.
I never understood the general difference between Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
You say Ibu is generally safer though?
Relatively speaking? Yes, but relatively speaking so is Tylenol. Take a shit ton like the idiots doing these tiktok challenges are doing and it will also fuck you up, of course, but it's not take a little more than you should and you could develop severe organ failure levels of fuck up. It's more you'll feel sick as a dog. Take a lot, you'll probably end up in a coma sharpish.
The differences are not trivial. Tylenol is basically a non-opioid analgesic (pain killer) and antipyretic which is specifically to deal with pain management or fever reduction in the main. Ibuprofen is a NSAID or non steroidal anti inflammatory drug, which is for the same conditions + fighting inflammatory pains (which the body can generate for any number of reasons).
Tylenol will do almost fuck all for an inflammatory issue, but it will make it feel better by killing off the pain. Advil will help with the pain by reducing the inflammation causing it.
Personal experience of both has for me been to use ibuprofen for body pain or headache, and to use acetaminophen / paracetamol more when I have a fever due to a flu or cold. The latter is more often combinable with other drugs to manage cold/flu symptoms, and inflammation isn't really the source issue when your body is fighting infections
Thnq Boss!
"I never understood the general difference between Tylenol and Ibuprofen."
Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory. Tylenol is a painkiller. Two different applications.
Tylenol is processed by the liver. Ibuprofen by the kidneys, is my understanding. I was once prescribed three Tylenol and three ibuprofen to be taken together twice per day after a dental procedure.
That's pretty common for dental stuff now. It's a good idea to take as little as possible.
I prefer white willow bark capsules for mild pain management. Even then, not many and not often.
That's how my grandmother died. She took a little too much tylenol and it shut her down, very quickly.
