Paracetamol for Pain Reviews
"It is the ABSOLUTE WORST PAINKILLER to take when you have period pain. It does did not ease my period pain at all. I would not recommend it to anyone . DON'T TOUCH IT. I am very lucky now that I do not take Paracetamol anymore."
"I have found Tylenol and other equivalents to be relatively ineffective in reducing pain associated with my degenerative disk disease (neck pain, severe headaches, lower back pain). I have had some success with tramadol coupled with muscle relaxants, Tylenol with codeine, and Vicodin (5 and 7.5 mg). I also had good results with Aleve until I started to have stomach problems."
"Administered an IV bolus of 600mg of Paracetamol to a patient in severe to moderate pain and patient suddenly started sleeping off but that was not expected so I checked and found the pulse unrecordable and BP not measurable. Quickly gave and IV bolus of saline and restored vitals and subsequently monitored patient for the next six hours. I think the effect of rapid administration IV should be hammered on."
"Paracetamol has no pain- relief effect on me, whatsoever."
"Does not work. Made me more ill than I am"
"I had a headache and it didn’t help me one tiny bit just made my headache 100x worse"
"Helps lower my blood sugar. I take 500 mg a day I live in the UK."
"For me its very good for pain and headache works in 30 minutes with every thing getting better"
