What Is the Best Remedy for Pain?
Before you take NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as Advil, Motrin, Vioxx, Celebrex, consider the following:
- NSAIDs cause 103,000 hospitalizations per year,
- Every year, 16,500 arthritis patients DIE from NSAID-related gastrointestinal damage alone
- 21% of all adverse drug reactions, such as bleeding, kidney and liver damage, are due to NSAID use
- People over 60 have a significantly higher probability of experiencing complications associated with NSAID use
Despite these facts, there are still 13 million regular users of NSAIDS in the U.S., with at least 30 billion over-the-counter NSAID tablets sold annually.
Is Tylenol safer?
This depends on a lot of individual factors. What medications is the patient taking? Is he or she drinking alcohol? Is he or she exposed to other liver toxins, like walking barefoot on the lawn after the pest control person has just sprayed? Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be dangerous and it can cause liver damage and death. It's not to be thought of lightly for any little ache or pain.
