Over-the-counter pain relievers are not all the same. While they may seem interchangeable, medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen have fundamentally different mechanisms of action, safety profiles, and ideal use cases. Choosing the right one depends on your specific condition, health history, and other medications you may be taking.
