What is the difference between advil and tylenol. thanks so much for answering this question it means a lot to me!!!!!

Good question : Tylenol is acetaminophen - metabolized by the liver ; it helps alleviate fever and pain but has no anti-inflammatory properties. Advil is ibuprofen and is metabolized by the kidneys. It helps with pain by minimizing the inflammatory cascade. People with renal insufficiency should avoid Advil. People with liver problems should avoid Tylenol.
