Until I grew up, I never knew that alcohol existed in medicine.

A qualifier first: I avoid taking any medicines if at all possible, but when I have to, Tylenol (taken of course, according to directions) is my favorite. It always works for any pain relief or headaches that I may have--and has zero side-effects, unless taken incorrectly.

Another favorite of mine is Loratadine, (I think it's generic Claritin)--for allergies. One small pill is good for 24 hours and I haven't had any side effects (drowsiness, etc.) from it. I only take it as needed, though--not all through allergy season.

As for least favorite medicines, someone mentioned barium--I know; that stuff's gross.

I feel the same way Chas......... Most of that big pharma stuff does not work at all and I dont think its meant to!

I prefer alternate meds like MMS or some other thing.........

I guess my favourite big pharma med is PENNISYLIN (I dunno if I spelled that right) I used to take that when I had earaches.... It did a good job on them......

I also like Motrin (I have 800MG tablets) and I like VIT C also.......

Penicillin is an old drug. It was used for everything back in the 1950s.
