Executive Summary
TYLENOL MOST RECOMMENDED "FOR PEOPLE ON CERTAIN PRESCRIPTIONS," a new ad for McNeil Consumer Products' OTC acetaminophen analgesic says. The commercial, entitled "The Lake," shows an older woman preparing for a swim. "My doctor says I'm healthier than he is. I swim every day. And I take my blood pressure medicine regularly," she states. A voice-over says "If you're taking a prescription, speak to your doctor about the pain reliever you choose"; a super notes this "includes patients taking diuretics, calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors." For "people on certain prescriptions, Tylenol is the brand of pain reliever doctors recommend most. And Tylenol won't irritate your stomach," the ad says.
