Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, primarily acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, relieving pain and reducing fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain. Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), provides analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in inflammation, pain, and fever.
