Anacin Reviews
For Pain "Any time that I have pain from over exertion resulting in muscle pain or an infrequent headache my go to medicine is Anacin. For me it works FAR better than Advil, Aleve, Tylenol or Aspirin. This week I had pain from running and had no relief from other products but once I found Anacin I had relief within 1 hour and the relief has lasted. Once, when I had minor surgery the Anacin worked much better than Tylenol 3 that was prescribed for me. I have no idea why Anacin works better for me but it always has."
For Pain "I find Anacin tablets to be the only go to drug that works on every discomfort I have. From simple exhaustion or tiredness, sleep problems, aches and pains, anxiety it is a miracle tablet that works within 15 minutes. I have had stomach problems related to taking 6 or more in 24 hours so refrained from using it for 12 months. Nothing I have found can replace Anacin so now use 2-4 each day. Worth the risk to me."
For Pain "I recommend it as the best to alleviate pain. Better than Oxicodone which lasts 1/2 hour. Forget Tylenol. As a dance teacher I experience all kinds of aches and pains . Have had disk problems, hip replacement and taken every pain killer known. For me this is the best anti-inflammatory. Most drs. for some unknown reason never heard of Anacin don't know what I am taking. I am going for minor surgery in a few days and still taking. Will quit 3 days before. I take with coffee, milk, water etc. Takes about one hour to take effect and I do take right before going to sleep."
"I have been taking Anacin for over 60 years for headaches (migraine). My dad also suffered from headaches, and Anacin was his drug of choice. I am 78 and in excellent health. My headaches were finally diagnosed as migraines by a neurologist in '78. I was prescribed Ergotamine, which is still effective. However, I would often abort the migraine with Anacin and thus avoid having to take the Ergotamine, which is a powerful vasoconstrictor. Now that I'm older, I have far fewer headaches, and usually one Anacin is all it takes to get rid of it. I was so disappointed to hear that this old basic standby was being discontinued. I found a pharmacy that still had it and bought 4 bottles of 200. That should be enough for me until the end. If I do last longer, I'll see if I can get a compounding pharmacy to make some for me. Thank you for listening and caring.❤️"
For Pain "It didn't help me with my pain in my left leg and buttocks. It's been a hour and the pain still here. l won't buy it again."
