Whats the difference between Tylenol Arthritis and Tylenol 8-Hour?
The price. Otherwise, they’re identical. Tylenol Arthritis contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. Tylenol 8-Hour contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. It’s the same story with all the old stalwarts; as with Oreos – all 62,000 different versions – brand extension has come to the pharmaceutical arena, in a big way. And that means big, big profits for Big Pharma, by simply repackaging the same old same old in fancy new boxes and bottles. Motrin Migraine and Advil Migraine? They’re identical to their regular counterparts, simply more expensive. Excedrin Migraine is identical to its extra-strength sibling. Look carefully at the ingredients next time you’re at the market; then look at the prices. You’ll thank me and enjoy all the extra cash jingling around in your pocketbook. Trust me. I’m a doctor. Oops; wrong one.
