My painkiller is Tylenol.

Our house uses three types of painkillers.

 

Sarydon-Ajeong, Geborin, and Tylenol.

Each person has an effective painkiller for themselves and uses it separately.

 

 

Sari Don-Ae Jeong Eun, my biological mother's painkiller

Geborin is my husband's painkiller.

Tylenol is my painkiller.

 

The painkiller I use the most is Tylenol, so I picked Tylenol.

 

 

While studying each painkiller, I will also explain what I have learned.

 

First, I will explain Sari Don-Ae Jeong and Geborin together.

 

Saritodon-A Jeong-eun is my biological mother's painkiller.

My mother, who has a neurological headache, has always carried painkillers with her since I was a little kid.

Whenever she paid a little attention or got stressed, a headache would come right away, and she found it very difficult.

At that time, my mother was told about Sari Don-Ajeong through the pharmacist.

The effects appear quickly after taking it, so I have been using it until now.

 

 

In my case, I injured my head in a traffic accident and live with headaches caused by post-concussion syndrome.

Due to my mother's influence, I used Saridong-Ajeong until I became a working adult.

I couldn't help but ask my obstetrician about the unbearable headache I experienced even after having a child.

I took the Tylenol you recommended, but the pain didn't go away at all.

It took a very long time.

 

At that time, I just thought that Saridone-Ajeong was so strong that other medications wouldn't work.

 

 

My husband didn't have severe headaches, but he said he continued using Gevorin because his in-laws used it.
He didn't even consider changing the medication separately, and he used it because it is smaller in size and easier to swallow than other medications.

Additionally, they said the effectiveness of the medication was satisfactory and it seemed to work well as a painkiller.

 

It seems that the medication taken at home since childhood continues into adulthood as well.

 

 

Do you know that?

 

Saritodon-Ajeong and Geborin may cause side effects if taken continuously.

There is an addictive effect, so other medications are not accepted by the body as painkillers.

The pharmacist told me not to take it for a long period if possible.

 

I’ve never heard that story until now.

Why do I feel this way when I come home?

 

I became curious about something.

Because it is a painkiller that benefits our family, it's hard to take it lightly.

The reason was due to the isoproprylantipyrine ingredient common to both medications.

 

There was once a lot of controversy surrounding this ingredient.

 

A pyrazolone derivative with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities

It was introduced in 1951 for the treatment of rheumatoid diseases.

It is said to be structurally related to Aminophenazone and associated with serious blood disorders.

However, unlike amino phenazone, it is not converted into the carcinogenic nitrosamine.

It is widely used as a substitute for Aminophenazone.

Although it is a drug prohibited for sale in certain countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, and Turkey,

They say it is still being used in other countries.

Our country is also in use.

In our country, safety testing has been conducted by the Korea Food and Drug Administration since March 2009.

As a result, it was recommended to limit the current age for use to under 15 years old and to use the medication for a short-term period.

 

I will learn more about Geborin.

This combination is used for headaches, toothaches, menstrual pain, pain, and fever or pain relief for colds.

- Acetaminophen has a slow onset but a long duration of action and no anti-inflammatory effect.
- The combination of the two drugs increases and prolongs the therapeutic activity of isoprothipilin.
- Caffeine is a drug that prevents drowsiness and restores alertness.

This medication is primarily for short-term use.
Children under 15 years old are prohibited from taking this medication.

 

The next medication I will introduce is Tylenol, which many people use.
The most famous painkiller containing acetaminophen.

 

 

I started taking this medication after my first pregnancy.

I had severe headaches from post-traffic accident trauma, but I couldn't take my usual medication due to pregnancy.

Unable to tolerate the pain, I asked the obstetrician and gynecologist in charge, who recommended Tylenol as an alternative option.

Since then, our connection has continued until now.
I liked that it was made with only one ingredient and that it was also safe for children.

 

And cancer patients are prescribed painkillers containing narcotic ingredients, or

You mentioned that you were advised by the doctor to use Tylenol as a pain reliever.

 

Initially, I also used SariDon-ED instead of Tylenol, so the painkiller didn't take effect immediately.

Maybe because I've been living together and sharing hardships with them for about 8 years during the pain.

Now, the effects appear quickly.

I have all three medications, so I compared their size and safety containers.

Please refer to this.

 

 

● Size and color comparison

 

 

Size

Sari Don-A Jeong > Geborin > Tylenol

 

 

You might say there's not much difference in size, but

For people like me who can't swallow pills, size is very important.

 

My review after taking Saridon-Ajeongwa and Tylenol is

I haven't taken Gevorin, but I think its small size makes it easy to swallow.

 

Saritodon-A Jeong Eun had a really hard time when she choked on it as a child.

Since then, the reality has become that pills can only be taken one at a time.

 

Compared to that, Tylenol is small in size, so I haven't gotten it caught in my throat yet.

 

▶ TIP ◀

Sometimes, people like me who have difficulty swallowing pills split their medication into smaller pieces.

In such cases, it can cause side effects and be dangerous.

During the process of splitting the medication, powder is generated.

Finasteride powder used for the treatment of hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia

Even just contact with the skin can increase the risk of birth defects in women of reproductive age.

Osteoporosis medication

It causes stomach discomfort such as heartburn by gradually dissolving in the stomach.

Taking it in powder form can severely irritate the esophagus and stomach, potentially causing ulcers.

Splitting and taking medication at once can lead to the absorption of a large amount of the drug's active ingredients into the body or cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

It is safer to take it as prescribed since you might experience side effects instead of the intended effect.

 

There is also an easy way to swallow medicine.

I should try it myself as well.

● Safety container comparison

 

 

 

Sarydon-Ajeong

Advantages: The most convenient and easy to open without much effort

Disadvantage: Children can easily open it.

 

Gevorin

Advantages: Use of safety packaging for children's protection

Disadvantage: If the nails are short, it is difficult to remove the safety packaging, and if it tears in the middle, you have to start again from the end.

 

Tylenol

Advantage: Among the three painkillers, the safest container is the most durable.

Disadvantage: It is so sturdy that you really have to apply a lot of force when opening it.
