Popular over-the-counter painkillers which contain ibuprofen and acetaminophen can block emotion and interfere with thoughts, according to an “alarming” review of existing research by scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Over the counter brands like Advil, Tylenol, Motrin, and Excedrin all contain either ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the active ingredient. Both ibuprofen or acetaminophen are also available as privately labeled generics at a lower price.
