The Differences between Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Aspirin?
In: 164
They are all painkillers. Ibuprofen & Asprin are also an anti-inflammatory, so pain caused by inflammation responds better to ibuprofen/asprin than to say, acetaminophen. Acetaminophen however is safer in general to take, primarily because it’s not a blood thinner, and also doesn’t have the gastrointestinal side effects of the others, it’s usually recommended to try that first. Acetaminophen specifically also can be used to reduce a fever.
