A member asked:
I was told to not take tylenol, (acetaminophen) is advil ok to take for muscle pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes w a caveat : For short period and in moderation, tylenol (acetaminophen) is safer but advil may be more effective depending on the cause. Very few reasons not to take tylenol (acetaminophen) and those same reasons usually hold true for advil as well.
