Why do hospitals only use Tylenol?
Why do hospitals only use Tylenol? Because hospitals use competitive bidding to purchase drugs, they usually stock only one brand of each kind. Hospitals prefer acetaminophen -- the active ingredient in Tylenol -- because it has fewer side effects than aspirin.
Is it harmful to take 2 ibuprofen every day?
The current recommendations for ibuprofen are to limit daily use to no more than 30 days. Dosing can range from 400 mg to 800 mg up to 4 times a day, with a daily maximum of 3200 mg per day. Above this limit, the negative effects of COX inhibition begin to outweigh the desired benefits of decreased discomfort and pain.
