Advil is a common name brand for the drug that is based on ibuprofen. This drug is also good for relief of body pain and fever. However, it is milder than the other two drugs. This is good for people who are looking for a low risk of side effects but bad for people who are suffering from serious pain since the positive effects of Advil don’t last as long as those of Aspirin or Tylenol. The one thing that Advil seems much better at treating than the other two drugs are is the reduction of pain associated with menstrual cramps.

Basically what you’ll find is that there are a lot of similarities between these three drugs but that there are also enough differences that you should choose wisely when picking a pain pill. They are all used to relieve pain and can serve the purpose of reducing fever and diminishing joint and muscle pain. They all have limited side effects which usually aren’t experienced unless there is an overdose of the drug over an extended period of time. However, these side effects vary and may impact people differently. Someone with an alcohol problem may want to avoid Tylenol whereas someone with thin blood would avoid Aspirin. It is always best to consult a doctor to determine which drugs are right for you even when you are getting them over the counter.
