Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yes, and generically, acetaminophen. Its non-addictive, but beware it can be kind of hard on your liver, especially combined with alcohol. - Re: Re: my new durom > > Hi a > thanks for your answer.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Eleanor, Tylenol arthritis is 650mg, rather than the usual 500. Two is recommended to take you through an eight-hour period. It's very good stuff at night. Hope all's well! Lari > > Would be grateful if those in America could tell us Brits > what 'Tylenol' > > is----its' generic name.
