This morning I woke up with a pretty UN exciting headache and it’s got me down pretty bad. It got me thinking about the differences between acetaminophen and ibuprofen since those are the two most readily available OTC remedies.
Acetaminophen is an analgesic which is pain relief. It also reduces fever. A commonly known brand name is Tylenol.
Ibuprofen is a non steroid anti inflammatory drug (nsaid) which reduces inflammation. Commonly known brand names include Advil and Motrin.
This site here has some very thorough information comparing the two.
Until next time,
Toodles
