Use OTC pain medicines responsibly

Sometimes there’s too much to remember. But forgetting to check your medicine ingredients could matter to your health.

The same medicinal ingredients (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, acetylsalicylic acid) are found in hundreds of commonly used oral over-the-counter and prescription medicines. And if you take more than one medicine with the same kind of medicinal ingredient at a time, it can increase your chances of harmful side effects. Nobody can remember what’s in hundreds of medicines. Check every label and take ONLY 1 medicine that contains the same kind of medicinal ingredient at a time.
