Tylenol vs. Advil: Is acetaminophen actually bad for you? And was President Donald Trump's advice for pregnant women to skip Tylenol and "tough it out" medically informed?

Summary: As a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, I break down the crucial differences between Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Advil (ibuprofen), two of the most common over-the-counter pain relievers. We'll explore their different mechanisms of action: why one is a powerful NSAID (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug) and the other is not.

I'll share a trick for continuous pain relief by staggering your Tylenol and Advil doses. More importantly, we'll dive into the complex issue of pain relief during pregnancy. We examine why acetaminophen is often the only option after 20 weeks of gestation, the real risks of untreated maternal fever (hyperthermia), and the conflicting scientific research—including new studies—on prenatal acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Did Trump's brand-specific targeting of Tylenol make sense? Tune in to understand the science behind this debate.
