My first thought is that Aleve, an over-the-counter med., might help. The
doseage is lower than Tylanol, and the time between doses is 8 hrs. Another
suggestion is to ask a compentent Pharmacist. If the pharm. is any good, he
will have a handle on side effects. In the meantime I'll look do some
research. If I find anything, I'll get back to you.
