When you have a headache, what do you take?
Over here, we say that we need some aspirin or paracetamol.
what brand names are common in the US?

usually tylenol, advil or alieve

Ok kristy mydear
Tylenol
Advil
Aleve
Excedrin
Aspirin
midol (for the cramp inspired headache)
sudafed (sinus trouble)
Nuprin (little yellow different)

Tylenol is the brand name for acetaminephin. Advil, Nutrin and Motrin are brand names for ibuprofen. Aspirin is aspirin, but there are brand names for that, too--Bayer, Bufferin, and Excedrin contains aspirin. Aleve is the brand name for naproxen.

Maybe that helps answer your question...

thanks v much. that was perfect! tylenol was the one we were after. long story!
