For Pain "I find Anacin tablets to be the only go-to drug that works on every discomfort I have. From simple exhaustion or tiredness, sleep problems, aches and pains, anxiety-it is a miracle tablet that works within 15 minutes. I have had stomach problems related to taking 6 or more in 24 hours, so I refrained from using it for 12 months. Nothing I have found can replace Anacin, so I now use 2-4 each day. Worth the risk to me."

For Pain "I recommend it as the best to alleviate pain. Better than oxycodone, which lasts 1/2 hour. Forget Tylenol. As a dance teacher, I experience all kinds of aches and pains. Have had disc problems, hip replacement, and taken every painkiller known. For me, this is the best anti-inflammatory. Most doctors, for some unknown reason, have never heard of Anacin and don't know what I am taking. I am going for minor surgery in a few days and still taking it. Will quit 3 days before. I take it with coffee, milk, water, etc. Takes about one hour to take effect, and I do take it right before going to sleep."

"I have been taking Anacin for over 60 years for headaches (migraine). My dad also suffered from headaches, and Anacin was his drug of choice. I am 78 and in excellent health. My headaches were finally diagnosed as migraines by a neurologist in '78. I was prescribed Ergotamine, which is still effective. However, I would often abort the migraine with Anacin and thus avoid having to take the Ergotamine, which is a powerful vasoconstrictor. Now that I'm older, I have far fewer headaches, and usually one Anacin is all it takes to get rid of it. I was so disappointed to hear that this old basic standby was being discontinued. I found a pharmacy that still had it and bought 4 bottles of 200. That should be enough for me until the end. If I do last longer, I'll see if I can get a compounding pharmacy to make some for me. Thank you for listening and caring.❤️"

For Pain "It didn't help me with my pain in my left leg and buttocks. It's been an hour, and the pain is still here. I won't buy it again."

For Pain "Any time that I have pain from overexertion resulting in muscle pain or an infrequent headache, my go-to medicine is Anacin. For me, it works FAR better than Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, or Aspirin. This week, I had pain from running and had no relief from other products, but once I found Anacin, I had relief within 1 hour, and the relief has lasted. Once, when I had minor surgery, the Anacin worked much better than Tylenol 3 that was prescribed for me. I have no idea why Anacin works better for me, but it always has."
