Acetaminophen

Recommended Posts

Mexican Brand Names:

  • Andox®; Datril®; Magnidol®; Neodol®; Neodolito®; Sedalito®; Sinedol®; Temperal®; Tempra®; Tylex®

I normally read the generic name on the box of pain killer. I have a box of generic paracetamol which I think it is the same thing as acetaminophen. You will probably have better luck at a regular pharmacy. My favorite is Farmacia Cristina--in the same stretch as El Torito.

As stated, the 325mg tablets are common in the US. There are 500mg tablets there which are sold as "Extra Strength" acetaminophen. I often see 625mg sold as "Arthritis Strength" and it is usually 'timed release'.

If one doesn't want the full 500mg dose of the Mexican version a pill cutter can easily be used to reduce the dosage preportionally. Just be sure, if using a pill cutter, that you are not cutting a 'timed release' pill as you will be introducing a lot more dosage than you think.
