Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) / acetaminophen combinations are used for temporary relief of minor aches and pain due to various causes, such as toothaches, backaches, and headaches. These medications work by combining the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs with the pain-relieving effects of acetaminophen. You can find these medications in oral forms, such as tablets and capsules. One example is acetaminophen / ibuprofen (Advil Dual Action). This class of medication offers a convenient way to manage multiple symptoms with one medication.
