A member asked:
What is better for back pain, aleve, advil, or tylenol (acetaminophen)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the ca: You should not take these drugs without knowing thec ause of your pain.Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the safest but alleve and advil are more potent in releiving pain.But they can cause gastritis(stomach irritation)and sometimes bleeding from your stomach.
