In the USA they call paracetamol acetaminophen or Tylenol, ibuprophen is commonly called Advil.All I can tell you is that SWMBO has her own Drugs need, we took them to Spain every winter for some years without issue. We often had in excess of a 4 Month supply. including 500`s of paracetamol, and even Tramadol. However we always carried her medical record and her Drug list. and the purposes for which each drug was required. We did this too for the 5 years or more we went to the USA, again without any issue. BTW, Paracetamol is NOT available in the US.
2 packs of 16 tablets Steve but us ladies who spend our days shopping and knitting can stock up on enough to poison most of you chaps in a very short time! I have found that if you take the bulky side effect leaflet out you can then sqeeze 32 tablets into each box to save space.Be aware that you can only get limited stock even in a supermarket. Something like 2 packs, so if you plan to take a stock you may need to visit shops several times.

It's good to have some price comparisons. Those sorts of prices are fine if you just take them occasionally but if you take them regularly it soon adds up compared with 20p for 16 in Wilko at the moment for caplets. They're nice and smooth as well. I only take them occasionally but I'm a wimp!Bought 500mg packet 24 @1.39 in Algarve pharmacy

It is one of those misconceptions like people insisting that Panadol is much more effective than paracetamol, the placebo effect if you like. They are chemically identical.We where advised that Tylenol, is (their) preferred alternative, (my DIL who lives in Texas uses it for "ladies" needs, but prefers Paracetamol, SWMBO often leaves behind what she has "spare") but was not actually the same composition, and not as effective?. I do know about ibuprphen/advil. Again it is not exactly the same composition drug? so I am informed.
The only thing I can think of is that the size of the tabletis different as we use an a dose of 1g for an adult in UK and Europe. The active ingredient in both is N-acetyl-para-aminophenol and the americans chose one name as their generic and we chose another. This has happened many times. So far this one hasn't changed to the american version. Whilst I find this fascinating I expect no-one else on the entire forum does!It is one of those misconceptions like people insisting that Panadol is much more effective than paracetamol, the placebo effect if you like.

A bit like rubbing something on your skin to help joint pain never found it helpsIt is one of those misconceptions like people insisting that Panadol is much more effective than paracetamol, the placebo effect if you like. They are chemically identical.
Yes all pharmacy's sell the generic paracetamol at about a euro a packet.. Paracetamol themselves are expensive..Yes but not under that generic name
I know what you mean, I can see how the gels might penetrate enough to relieve inflammation in tendons like tennis elbow where they are within 1cm of the surface. However when they show them relieving pain in hips, knees and in low backs where they are unlikely to have even penetrated the flab I just laugh.A bit like rubbing something on your skin to help joint pain never found it helps

You could and possibly still can, buy larger quantities of paracetamol and ibuprofen from the pharmacy, generic, not branded is cheaper. Not checked prices recently and no idea re pricing of paracetamol as I am allergic and rarely buy them, only keep in for others in an emergency.
This may have changed since they became so readilly available in supermarkets.
Have fallen foul of the medication shortage. One of my Hypertension meds, only made by one supplier who have stopped producing them. have been waiting for a week for the GP pharmacist to get back to me, taking non controlled release 3 times a day may be an alternative, a bloomin nuiscance, but may be what I have to do.
