No, acetaminophen and ibuprofen are similar in effect and are both classified as NSAIDs (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs) but they are chemically different. Acetaminophen and paracetamol are the same thing.

No, they are not the same. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) where as acetaminophen is not. Aspirin relieves pain by blocking pain receptors and acetaminophen works by raising the pain threshold.

No they are not. They are two separate medicines. Aspirin has anti-inflammatory properties that acetaminophen does not have, but acetaminophen offers comparable pain relief and does not thin your blood like aspirin does.
