Hello! I want to ask you something. Namely, I know that Tylenol and Ibuprofen are actually pain killer drugs. But, I have noticed that many people make difference between them. Can you explain me What is the difference between Tylenol and Ibuprofen? Are they actually same drug with different name? I am thanking you in advance!

Hello! They are not same drug with different name. They can be used for pain killing, you are right. But, Tylenol and Ibuprofen does not belong to the same drug group. Tylenol is analgesic, but Ibuprofen is non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (which means that, beside pain killing, it is blocking inflammation, too).
