minimal to no relief from the pain in my back. I had previously tried it for headaches without success as well but was willing to use it when I hurt my back, however experienced several days of suffering due to my willingness to "give it a try". As a R.N. I know this drug is widely used for pain and fever control. For fever it is very effective, it however does not live up to its reputation for pain control for me and also for many many of my patients. A sad disappointment all these years. I have found for myself that plain old aspirin works better but am also aware of the dangers with that drug where other patients may not be.Read More Read Less

This is a dangerous drug. It can cause liver problems or liver failure. Were it just coming on the market today, it would likely not get approved. This information came from my Daughter who has been a nurse for the past 25 years. I myself cannot take the drug as it causes serious problems among them my lips go numb and swell terribly.

It's pretty good for headaches, but not that great for body aches or fever.

Have used this med.(brand name and generic) off and on for years, at proper dosage. Although I am satisfied with its effectiveness,I can't taste many foods for a day or two after taking it.

This is a pill I first take for headache and LL SORTS OF PAIN. I even give this to my kids. I don't experience any sourness in the stomach.. I also prescribe it over the phone for relatives who ask for fever and pain relief. It is so safe that I take it without having eaten anything.

I have flue like symptoms from a weekly injection that I take for my chronic illness. Acetaminophen does a wonderful job of knocking out the fevers and chills that I usually get.

taking for sciatica - tablets did not work at all - passed without dissolving. Some success with chewables and fast acting caplets when taken in conjunction with aspirin.
