Painkiller is Tylenol.

I thought all painkillers were the same, but it turns out they're not.

During the early stages of COVID-19, names like 'ibuprofen' and 'acetaminophen' were frequently mentioned.

At that moment, when the explanation about "sometimes using ibuprofen and sometimes using acetaminophen" came up, I realized for the first time that there are different types of painkillers.

Before COVID-19, I think there were things like penicillin and other medicines at home, but these days there is Tylenol.

Maybe the influence of the broadcast was significant, haha.

Tylenol is a regular painkiller that does not have anti-inflammatory effects.

So, it seems that gastrointestinal issues are less severe.

Most medications are said to be taken after meals, but Tylenol is a medication that can be taken even without regard to meals.

Oh, and I heard that medications in the acetaminophen class have a maximum daily dosage.

Sometimes people take painkillers and still experience no relief, leading them to overdose on painkillers, but they say you should never do that.

Since there is a warning that exceeding the maximum daily dose can cause liver damage, do not take more painkillers immediately if you do not see effects right away.

Oh, and while alcohol is generally prohibited when taking medication, it seems that with acetaminophen-based drugs, the restriction is even stricter.

This is also due to liver damage.

You can easily get it at the pharmacy without a prescription, and it's quite effective, so now I always keep it ready like an over-the-counter medicine.
