The CDC brochure only seems to reference acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I read that we should NOT take any before the jab; but, instead wait until the immune response occurs, THEN you can take it. Normally, I take aspirin for most everything; but, decided to do Tylenol (acetaminophen) instead. The Tylenol didn't do much for my pain. I switched to ibuprofen (which doesn't usually work too well for me) and it worked pretty good. So, maybe you have to go with the one that your body will respond to.
