[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. The trolls (troll?) are active here!  Surprised they chose this thread to go after.  I guess all the quarantining at home has given them a lot of time and angst.  To the trolls: I'm sorry that your lives aren't fulfilling.  It's been a tough couple of years for us all.  Good luck.  I do hope you find more constructive outlets.

I found this thread b/c I was looking for the lowest sugar Acetaminophen option for my kids.  I was surprised to find so little info on the web about the specific sugar content in Children's Tylenol!  I called them and the agent I spoke with refused to provide that information.  They basically offered to read the ingredients for me.  Wow, great customer support, Tylenol!

I found a competing product marketed under the GoodSense label.  I called them too and they were super helpful.  The lady told me their product contains 3g of sugar per 5mL.  I would expect that Tylenol is similar.

For water, 1mL=1 gram.  I would expect this liquid to have a density that doesn't depart too much from water, so this means this product is ~60% sugar.  That is, unsurprisingly, on par with lollipops and other hard candy.

I hope this information is somewhat useful here.  It would be nice to have sugar-free Acetaminophen options so parents and pediatricians could decide which was overall better for individual children with their individual health conditions.  It's great that we have that with Advil/Ibuprofen, but most parents know that you sometimes need both pain reliever types.  Cheers![/quote]

There are sugar free options with artificial sweeteners. There’s no need for a bitter liquid medicine for children; very few people would buy it. Crush up a regular pill if you want to mix it into avocado or whatever. [/quote]
