Is Paracetamol Safe For A Patient Suffering From Headache?
Question: How safe is paracetamol for headaches? Our pharmacist does not carry it and says it is not manufactured here in XXXXXXX It is manufactured in Great Britain.
Brief Answer:
Paracetamol is same as tylenol!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Paracetamol has as active ingredient acetaminophen which is exact what tylenol is. The brand names are different but the active ingredients are exactly the same. Taking paracetamol or Tylenol(common in the USA) is exactly the same.
Paracetamol is my drug of choice for most headaches and the results are good. I will recommend that you try it. It is of good quality if sold in the USA or British market.
I hope this addresses your query fully. If there is something more you want us to talk on or need further clarifications, please let me know. I wish you well.
