Top 5 BEST OTC Medications!

[@Real18800]

Thanks for not yelling and raising you voice like 98% of every other youtube video maker.

[@heidiripley1867]

You are helping so many people...one of the few completely honest people on KZbin ..and not sponsored by anyone. Thank you!

[@Skyler1279]

If you do put music in your vids definitely make it INSANELY quiet your voice is already very calm so it overpowers your voice a bit thank you for not putting it over the whole vid tho very good top 5 list

[@natetechr]

😂

[@debrajarnagin7101]

I agree why put music in anyway

[@Skyler1279]

@debrajarnagin7101 eh it may fill dead space more but I feel u he's jus talking bout meds and his voice is pretty entertaining as is it don't really need music but if he adds it he def needs to make it lower in volume then his voice lol

[@LEhlert08]

dude if u did a tier list it would be amazing. Seeing THE Grant putting meds in a tier list would complete my life

[@saran4783]

I just fell down the rabbit hole of your channel and BAM new vid drops, thanks for the grind 🫡

[@Sarahahahahah]

I’m a first time mom about to be a SAHM so really looking to learn how to cut costs in any way possible- just found your channel and it’s been a massive help so far!

[@mort2619]

I found a short of yours about common cold OTC meds you recommended a little while ago. When I get sick it’s pretty brutal for me and I’m usually a miserable mess for a week+. Currently I’m on day 3 of a cold I caught and I feel a million times better 3 days in using your recs than I would have if I just fought this on my own or using stuff I *thought* would help, but never has. Thank you my guy 🙏

Ulcer relief is causing acid problems, acid relief is causing b vitamin problems, b vitamin deficiency is causing ulcers. I strongly recommend a restricted diet until your digestive tract is healed. Over time digestive tract issues can also cause histamine sensitivity and allergies. Anti-histamines are often also anticholinergics, which have a significant effect on the digestive tract. Basically putting yourself in a downward cycle of symptom relief.

Okay, now we know: Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio! I live in none of the three. But I shall keep watching!

I have rheumatoid arthritis and Tylenol helps with flare ups, I love ALDIs and am unsure how I managed to miss their tiny pharmacy selection but I'll definitely have to check that out. Great content, looking forward to the next.

[@cristrivera]

I work at Pl development its so cool hearing you like our products👍🏻💯💯

[@ReceivingWelfare]

This page is going to blow up!! Great information broken down in layman’s terms.

[@imgm94]

Wonderful channel. Thank you for educating the public. Also, in love with your voice! It's very soothing and makes watching your videos enjoyable.

[@TetUnOffensive]

Nice reveal. Figured Ohio was one of the three states where you are a licensed pharmacist (Pennsylvania being obvious) but Virginia was a twist. Was originally thinking maybe NY/NJ would be the third.

[@HappyNBoy]

Regarding cuts and sores in your mouth: my dentist recommended me to switch to a toothpaste without sodium lauryl or laureth sulphates, as it can weaken the mucus lining in your mouth for people particularly sensitive to that. Made that switch a few years ago (Hello is the brand I like, because they still have fluoride which is extremely safe and effective), and apart from the occasional cheek bite, or one time when I had a particularly nasty cold, I haven't had any mouth sores since. Stayed at a friend's place across country and used their Crest or Colgate for the week, and had a sore the next week, I really think those particular chemicals (which are foaming agents if I recall) really do a number on me. I'd love to see some literature on that, but... Yeah! Get some SLS-free toothpaste and see if that helps!

[@GothGfGG]

I have almost binged your entire channel in one sitting while suffering with the flu at 3am

[@rw9495]

I can't say enough good things about Benzocaine 20%, I completely understand why it's #1 on your list!

[@tonybaga]

👍🏾

[@FriggnH8ters]

I used to get canker sores as a kid a lot and benzocaine was such a life saver

[@keithknight6745]

Canker sores are the worst 😫

[@Jordabrz]

Just got my first canker sore at 31 yrs old, i was truly perplexed and thought i had mouth cancer or herps! 😅

[@zZbobmanZz]

Love these videos, it's the best of both worlds, relaxing and informative!

[@0mega619]

Love this series and your whole dang channel. Please keep the content coming!

[@LS-Z]

I could not believe my eyes when I saw Oral Gel at Dollar Tree years ago. That stuff is crazy expensive at Wal-Mart and they have it locked up, at least the store near me does.

[@scoopdaddie]

[@brendanmarcum8335]

Grant, Costco has allergy meds;: Kirkland Signature Allergy Medicine 25 mg., 600 Minitabs for $8.99. That's 2 cents per pill compared to Benadryl Allergy Ultratabs which is 25 cents per pill.

[@CoutureShimmer]

Honestly subscribed just for the positive vibes! 💓 the information is great too 😊

[@tasteyfoood]

I love this guy

[@bridgetsieger2261]

I love this guy too. I sent his vids to random peeps.

[@ArtyI]

I left my job as a pharmacy tech back at the end of 2023 and moved to a support role for the PMSS company. Your videos make me miss actually doing the pharmacy stuff.

[@kickboxs77]

When I was in high school we had a class called “personal health” and one of the units in this class was shopping and budgeting. The first thing we were taught was how to look for unit prices on the price tags in the stores, and how to calculate it if it wasn’t listed. It’s something I do almost every day and a lot of times I take that for granted. I forget that it’s not something that a lot of people do anymore. I see the scams in the bulk packs from a mile away. Makes you shake your head and wonder “who’s buying this?”.

[@majorleaugeb9168]

Dollar tree is the go to for medical supplies/first aid kits . The literal same bottles of alcohol/peroxide here i found on Amazon are sold for like $5+.

[@roxcyn]

Dollar General, Walmart and Costco/Sam's Club have good deals on those, too.

[@Anonymous-sw5jx]

If you get common canker sores it can be from toothpaste containing Sodium lauryl sulfate. Super common in most toothpaste. Sensodyne has toothpaste that doesnt contain this ingredient. I was gettign them frequently when doing jiu jitsu, lots of mouth trauma. But switching out my toothpaste and they went away

[@kepi7055]

Can you do a cross-overish video on meds. For example, can you use oral gel on hemorrhoids as opposed to more expensive lidocaine? Are there OTC meds meant for one thing but work on something else?

[@deniseadams4121]

Hi Grant, these are great, thanks

[@goldkellum1656]

Im glad i realized this on my own over 20yrs ago. Ive tried explaining it to people. But yeah

[@381delirius]

Gas station supplement tier list when ⁉️

[@519MaLoNeY]

Great video man, thanks for making it.

[@roxcyn]

Yes I have products from all these categories.

[@francinebacone1455]

If a paper company needed an in-house pharmacist, this is the guy Dunder-Mifflin would hire for their Scranton branch. 10/10

[@dinahsoar6982]

I bought the Walmart/Great Value Loratidine..it works great...and the price can't be beat. On my drug plan I'd pay $7 for 30 day supply of the generic if it were prescribed for me by my doctor.

[@381delirius]

You need to do a tier list.

[@FatAznAznWithCake]

The top of my list is Aldi fluticasone nasal. I think it was only around $5! The only way I can get it cheaper is if I have a prescription and use my insurance.

[@taelen20]

"You don't need 1000 ibuprofen." My Parents: "Watch us"

[@naterade28]

I haven’t watched all of your videos but I have yet to see one where you compare Walmart/Dollar tree stores to Amazon. I buy my allergy meds on Amazon for $14 for a 365 day supply. That famotidine that you have in the video has a 200 count for $9. Would be an interesting video idea to look at Amazon deals

What do you think about baking soda for heartburn relief?

PLEASE make a video about KRATOM. Thank you. 😊

[@n8rock1]

Could you please tell us the difference between acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen?

[@jordynozymandias374]

This is a great question and I am not an expert so take my explanation with a grain of salt, but I believe it's important to educate people on the distinctions. All three of these are different chemicals that act to reduce inflammation in the body. Ibuprofen and aspirin are considered NSAIDs while acetaminophen has a sort of unique mechanism. NSAID stands for Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and contrasts the classic steroid anti inflammatory drugs. Aspirin is also a salicylate, a family of related chemicals that are anti inflammatory. Imo ibuprofen and acetaminophen have comparable pain killing effects and both are effective for fever. Aspirin is not nearly as good for pain. My doctor was kind of shocked when I told her I had tried it for my back pain and I don't think it helps. I also find personally salicylates to be rough on the stomach. It's also very important that people know what's safe to combine. Acetaminophen is safe to take with ibuprofen and aspirin as well as other NSAIDs (naproxen, meloxicam, etc) and salicylates (methyl salicylate, magnesium salicylate, etc). However, you should never combine NSAIDs with other NSAIDs or salicylates and never combine salicylates with other salicylates. Also be careful about taking combo medications because many contain these drugs and there's a risk of overdosing or taking a bad combination if you're not reading labels. Of course you should be reading labels and keeping track of what you take and how much of it but accidents happen and some people are just not aware of the risk. Again I am not any kind of expert and this is a very bare bones explanation of these medicines but I hope I was able to shed some light on the subject.

[@TracyBrown-ie5gj]

Is it just me or is Benadryl not being sold any more. If that is the case, what would you use in its place? Thank you!

[@Karaboujan69]

Keep up the good work dude !

[@annathiika5755]

Since you said you struggle with acid reflux that may explain why you get mouth sores, I get them too. Thank goodness for Benzocaine!

[@atashgallagher5139]

My question is where do i get oral lidocaine, i dont want to give myself methemoglobinemia by using too much of the benzocaine and i also dont like how slow it is to start working and fast it wears off. I just want to find some non prescription oral lidocaine spray for sore throats.

[@reelheel5919]

What are your thoughts on the antihistamine chlorpheniramine? My Dr recommends it for people with high BP.

[@roxcyn]

It's one of the ones I take. I have year round allergies. The products I use are Zyrtec, Allegra, Chlorphen, and Benadryl. Usually I take Zyrtec or Allegra and if my allergies are real bad I'll take Chlorphen or Benadryl.

[@stinkymushroom8007]

Hello I like your channel and videos. please please do a video on period care and Midol strep/laryngitis/tonsilstone/tonsilitis medications thyroid dysfunction medicines yeast infection medicines Please Please and we need more women centered care videos because a lot of us dont know and have not had the opportunity to be educated how to care for ourselves when this happens. pls make videos on things like midol, yeast infection stuff, different birth controls, pcos medicines we get perscribed like metformin and bc. etc also wud be cool if u talk about diabetes care and finding cheapninsulin

[@stonks4days1]

I like kratom for pain and take 7-hydroxymitragynine for days when the pain is unbearable. Treat these with respect and it's the best non-opioid pain medication around

[@redandblack1911]

where do you get your kratom?

[@stonks4days1]

@@redandblack1911 I like Carolina kratom. For hydroxy I take 7ohmz. 7ohmz is pretty expensive so I only take when pain is horrible and if you take it often it makes kratom less effective so be careful with it

Idk if you've seen them but those Motrin & Advil Dual-Action tablets are incredible for two reasons; a small dose of each in one tablet does more for pain than a larger dose of each seperately, and it saves you money only needing to buy one thing instead of both acetaminophen & ibuprofen

[@adamschneider868]

Cuts and sores in your mouth could mean you eat a lot of oranges and pineapples? But with the added information that you regularly take heart burn medication, I am gonna have to say you need to eat vegetables. Bar and grill food is not a diet, it's a treat.
