Did you ask the pharmacist or show him/her what the doctor prescribed...? Otherwise maybe try another pharmacy?
When I was discharged from the hospital, I went to the HRRH pharmacy to fill my prescription from the doctor and they gave me the kids cherry flavored generic Tylenol and its sweetened with sorbitol.

I heard of folks not liking the liquid children's tylenol. They had suggested the children's chewable tablets, however, since each tablet only has 80 mg of acetominaphen, then you need to have approx 7 tablets to equal one extra strength adult one. Using a pill splitter on an adult tylenol is probably best.

When I had my surgery at Toronto Eastern Hospital last week, they didn't even CRUSH the meds! They gave them to me whole to take with 30 ml of water! One little medicine cup, 2 big pills! Also, I was told that I no longer need to crush any pills. Just take them whole! Ya, I was surprised too!
