Question

CSI Baltimore:  A patient was rushed to the ER having been poisoned by an unknown chemical.   The remaining tablets from the “Tylenol” bottle remained on his nightstand.  The tablets must have been something other than Tylenol because the victim had taken Tylenol many times prior with no ill effects.  You do know that the victim was severely allergic to the class of drugs called NSAIDs.   Your job is to identify the remaining tablets in the bottle so that the ER doctor may apply the appropriate treatment.​

Answer 1

The remaining tablets in the bottle are NSAIDS such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen sodium which is allergic to the patient.
