A member asked:
Will paracetamol or ibuprofen take away hunger pains from starvation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hunger pain is transmitted by very complex autonomic pathways. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil will only treat more traditional (a delta and c) pain pathways. These medications may in fact lead to more stomach pain.
