Did you know that Tylenol has animal by-products in it?
I am personally allergic to all forms of pain medication (it really sucks) You all probably know this, but for those that didnt, I thought I would share with you. My friend wrote to the company, because she couldn't get a complete list of ingredients, and this was the response they sent to her:
