Can i take tylenol arthritis for a headache?
My doctor gave me Tylenol Arthritis for my knee pain, which I take regularly. But I've had a really bad headache since yesterday, and I'm wondering if this particular medicine can also help with it.

Don't just take medicines meant for joint pain for your headaches based on internet advice. Tylenol Arthritis has a high, extended-release dose of acetaminophen. You should verify with a general physician first to see if a normal headache pill is better.

Please take a deep breath and drink some warm water, sometimes a peaceful mind helps ease the tension. Regarding the medicine, since it is a stronger, slow-release formula, it is best to ask your doctor before taking it for a headache.

Since I deal with hormonal headaches from PCOS, I have to be very careful with what pain relievers I take. Tylenol Arthritis is an extended-release formula designed to work over many hours, which might not be ideal for a quick headache relief. It is safer to ask a doctor first.

Tylenol Arthritis has a really high dose of paracetamol, yaar. Taking it for a normal headache might actually be too much for your liver. Better to just take a normal regular-strength paracetamol after checking with your pharmacist.
