They are both NSAIDS and should not be taken together, but no; they are different medications. Motrin is ibuprofen. Aleve is Naproxen Sodium.

They are both anti-inflammatory medicines, with similar side effect profiles. They should not be taken together.

Yes, both medication contains "ibuprofene" as the only active drug. They might differ in "non-active ingredients" because they aren't made by the same company. But effect on pain and inflammation is the same, because of the ibuprofene.

Negative...Tylenol aka acetaminophen and Motrin aka an non steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAIDS) are totally different and act in different ways but both provide pain relieve and temperature reduction.

"Tylenol" is a brand name; it appears on several different formulations. It's therefore impossible to answer definitively.

However, most people, when they say "Tylenol", mean the acetaminophen (aka paracetamol) formulation that contains no other active ingredients.
