Tylenol, aka acetaminophen, is generally used for fever reduction (antipyretic) and pain not associated with inflammation. NSAID stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, so as you can see, this drug is associated with reducing inflammation. Popular NSAIDs are Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin.

Paracetamol or acetominophen, unlike other common analgesics such as aspirin and ibuprofen, has relatively little anti-inflammatory activity, so it is not considered to be a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

No, Tylenol (acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol) is not an NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Tylenol is a pain reliever, but it does not significantly reduce inflammation.

NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).
