FDA proposed a sterner warning labels against non-prescription pain-relievers like ibuprofen (advil), acetaminophen (tylenol), aspirin and naproxen (aleve). they said that we should be cautious for potentially serious side effects. overdoses of acetaminophen causes serious liver damage. for aspirin, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs, there is a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney injury even if the patient takes the correct dose. we should always be careful on what we take in. PREVENTION is always better than CURE.

everyone should know better then to over dose on any kind of medicine. Advil is a great pills to take when not feeling good. This is sad if people stop taking advil because of this warning.

There should be a more sensible approach taken to pain relieve, pain is often there for a reason. Headaches are most often the cause of lack of liquids, and yet the most cause for using pain relief.
