A member asked:
Is tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen better for sore throat & mild headache? i am presently taking buspirone daily & lorazepam on occasion for anxiety.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol (acetaminophen): The lowest incidence of side effects or complications is expected with Acetaminophen usage, at an effective dose of up to 3 grams per day. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds (ibuprophen, advil, aleve, (naproxen) aspirin, etc.) carry the significant risk of short or long-term gastric complications, as well as the potential for renal impairment.
