Whoah.

So, never heard of those. But DDG tells me Tylenol is just a brand—talk about an effective monopoly.

Advil is ibuprofen and Aleve is naproxen. They tend to get the same brand treatment as Band-Aids and Vaseline in the US.

Can you buy naproxen without a prescription over there? I thought you generally needed to pair it with something like omeprazole and the general public can't be trusted to read instructions

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It’s available over the counter. I’ve never heard of pairing it with omeprazole. What is the reason for that?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

NSAIDS (type of painkiller) can cause or exacerbate stomach issues. Omeprazole is an antacid that can counter some of those issues.

Good to know. Thank you!

Generally they just recommend taking nsaids with food, and it mostly solves the stomach problems.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

We do that a lot it seems, like the South who call everything and it's mother coke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago
