I don't have a medical background, and I rarely have to take anything, but I've had great results from taking Ibuprofen.

Is Tylenol that much stronger than Ibuprofen?

It wasn't recommended during pregnancy back in the day for me (2006-2008). Tylenol was our only option.

What is the mechanism of acetaminophen that causes autism in some babies?

You’re not supposed to take ibuprofen when pregnant or young. It thins your blood, which adversely affects people in both cases.

Ibuprofen is bad for unborn babies, which is why Tylenol was always recommended


quote:

Why ibuprofen is discouraged in pregnancy:

Effects on the baby’s heart and circulation

In later pregnancy, ibuprofen can cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, a vital blood vessel that allows blood to bypass the baby’s lungs before birth. Closing it too early can lead to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).

Kidney problems in the fetus

NSAIDs like ibuprofen may reduce blood flow to the baby’s kidneys, causing low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios), which can impact lung development and cause complications.

Risk of miscarriage

Some studies suggest that NSAID use, especially around conception or early in pregnancy, might be linked to a higher risk of miscarriage, though this is still debated.

Labor and delivery complications

Ibuprofen may interfere with prostaglandins, chemicals that help trigger labor. This can delay or prolong labor and increase bleeding risk.

Ibuprofen is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially after 20 weeks, due to potential risks to the fetus, including kidney problems and low amniotic fluid levels.

I take way too much ibuprofen. I’m thinking about just switching to not being a huge pussy.

Aspirin is all I ever take. The Bayer one that's coated. It works for me and haven't had any side affects.

Ibuprofen should not be taken during pregnancy, especially at or after 30 weeks gestation, because it increases the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus

Only low-dose/baby aspirin. The regular aspirin is not recommended either

I don't have any idea, but President Trump is absolutely NUKING Tylenol. He doesn't have a medical background, either, but he has unlimited access to medical experts.

Thanks. I figured they would already be using Ibuprofen if it was any better.

Truth is that people are super quick to use pain relievers in general. No need to give pain reliever for low grade fevers yet people start giving ibuprofen and Tylenol as soon as fever starts.

I was just joking.

They all have side effects.

Even Tylenol, without the woo-based concerns over autism, is bad for your liver.
