If you're talking about the active chemical in them. Then no, they don't share a common one.

  • Advil contains ibuprofen
  • Tylenol contains acetaminophen
  • Aspirin contains acetylsalicyclic acid.

They're all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Each of those substances exert the same effect, which is preventing inflammation.

Are there side effects of taking ADVIL daily?

Taking Advil, since it is an aspirin regimen, can lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack. However, Advil isn't the best or the safest aspirin regimen to take. If you insist of taking an aspirin regimen every day, I would recommend Bayer aspirin regimen. But other than that, there are no really serious side effects. However, do not take an aspirin regimen if you are experiencing stomach problems. If your stomach feels like it is cramping or hurting really bad, I would recommend switching over to a Tylenol regimen. Tylenol is 100% ibuprofen. I am recommending this because you should NEVER take an aspirin regimen when experiencing stomach discomfort.
