Best Answer

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are both considered pain killers, but one might be better than the other for certain symptoms. In my personal history, advil has worked better for cramps, joint pain, muscle pain, other pain of this nature. Acetaminophen works better at headaches and reducing the effects of fever. Its usually safe to switch between the two, but ask your doctor first, and then you can figure out which one works better for your symptoms.
