After a returing home from a long day at work, you reazlize you can't seem to shake that excruciating headache of yours, so you decide to pop an aspirin, after all it relieves mild-to-moderate pain right?

By choosing either one over Tylenol, you’re gaining both pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits. Flickr/ciron810If it’s just a regular headache, acetaminophen is your best choice. However, if you have had liver-related conditions in the past then proceed with caution. Too much acetaminophen can lead to liver damage.
