Another Major Recall of Over The Counter Medications  

Hi Pye...I saw this on the news.. I thought I heard Prylosec as one of the drugs... don't see it on your list.. my daughter takes it. I'm too lazy to open the link .. just tired..Thanks for keeping us informed.. I never did catch it all on the news.. I've been listening to the stuff about Haiti.

That's what I don't like. When they know about the problem but do nothing. I'm sure their inaction could result in fines from FDA. Now about Tylenol, I don't buy their brand, I only buy the off brand. I'm not supposed to take aspirin or NSAIDs so I can only take Tylenol or take nothing if I have pain. But as I said, I take the off brand. I usually buy Sam's Clubs Choice, it's much cheaper.

Thank you for the head's up. I just sent this to a bunch of my friends.

I use tylenol PM. Not very often. My husband and I just finished a bottle I bought in August of 2009. We were going to buy more. When our arthritis acts up, we can work through it, but we can't sleep through it. Usually it's only a couple of nights every once in a while when it's really, really damp. Well, it's been a weird year. It was damp all summer as well as off and on in the fall and winter.

The Drs. don't want me to use aspirin or Aleve, so that pretty much narrows down what I can use. We use tums, I don't see that on the list. Too bad, I liked Aleve.

Moldy like oder, sounds grouse, doesn't it?

I hardly ever use Tylenol, mostly because it has always upset my stomach. The only time I buy it is if I have bursitis and I haven't had that for a while.
With all the recalls now, doesn't it make you wonder if the production quality has gotten worse, or if people are just paying more attention and reporting more? With so many pills having coatings now, who would notice if there was a strange aroma or taste? I wonder what else the coatings hide?

It is going to get to the point where we will not have to worry about our healthcare here in the USA because nobody will want to go to a doctor, fill any perscriptions or even take OTC meds for fera they will die from a poisoned medication. I only take plain lable aspirn for pain and an ocassional off brand benedryl for allergy and sinus. Maybe we should all just drink instead of take perscriptions or OTC's.

Hope I am safe with takeing Bayer asprin but now I am for sure going to hunt down herbs or natural way to do things for me that I have to do.
I didnt take any kind of pill till I had heart attack now they say I have to take 3 and one of them is the bayer asprin for the heart. The other 2 are for BP.
adn I take a pill I found that is all natural for my cancer.
and that has worked great for me for all my blood work has came out good for over 2 years now No more cancer has shown up yeah!111111

I am a person that has to change my meds pretty regularly because they stop working for me. I usually use Arthritis Tylenol. I did have a weird rash for awhile and have really been racking my brain for where it could have come from. My daughter and I both react to food and meds this same way sometimes. It really makes me wonder.

Unbelievable how many products are listed. My daughter sent me this a couple of days ago, and I was amazed. I don't take Tylenol, just generic aspirin, thank goodness. Makes you wonder AGAIN, what the heck is going on, and I wonder how many people really got sick and didn't associate it with the pills. Scary.

any company..that knows of a problem and doesn't act on it..should be up on charges.
simple as that.
this isn't the first problem tylenol has had either(the poisonings)..you'd think they'd want to put customers at ease before people just plain not buy it.

Hi Pye,

I have been read this news and have got very big shock that one of the
well branded and fast moving counter medicines like Tylenol Arthritis
has been recalled by the Federal Drug Authority, due to the composition
of the ingredients which would harms the side effects of nausea, vomiting,
stomach pain and diarrhea. There was some indication from the manufacturer
that some batches of products would have the side effects and not for all the
products which has been manufactured in the laboratory. Still we are waiting
for the final notice and other comments from the Federal Drug Authority in
order to avoid the medication for further treatment. This current medicines
has been well popular in the counter of a pharmacy and have been sold out
many more billions of caplets in the markets. So it is the responsibility
of the FDA to decide whether to revoke the license for this products or not,
so still we are waiting for the final comments from the authority.

Have a nice day.
