Research Notes on Acetaminophen vs. Ibuprofen
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are medications both being used in the treatment of fever and mild to moderate pain. Acetaminophen is classified as an analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducing) medication that is used in treating fever and pain. On the other hand, ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is given to reduce fever, pain and inflammation. Analysis of several studies about acetaminophen and ibuprofen have shown that both drugs have similar analgesic effects in alleviating pain. However, ibuprofen has shown better antipyretic properties.
