Is acetaminophen really considered to be less strong than ibuprofen? I’d always considered them to be equal with ibuprofen being safer.
Yep here in Dutchland many people think paracetamol is a safer version of aspirine. They don’t know paracetamol can get dangerous very quickly. Dutch hospitals often get patients into the ER with a possible paracetamol overdose.
Here is a toxicologist working in a Dutch hospital saying that https://youtu.be/P_Zt-xw7bME (has English subs)
In the Netherlands, yes. Ibuprofen is considered "stronger" or at least more serious. Most of that is because the general consensus seems to be to take 2 paracetamol (1000mg) and if it doesn't help, add 400mg of ibuprofen on top.
So, everyone sees it as "stronger" instead of complementary
In my Dutch social circle it is indeed, but don't ask me why. Personally I dislike Ibuprofen, it always makes me feel queasy and upsets my stomach.
Always take it with food.
Reading the other comments, this seems to be more of a cultural thing than something based on facts. Ibuprofen seems to be taken in more serious situations. Personally I've never had it so I'm not sure. Paracetamol is more of a casual thing here. Many people, like me, would only take it when very ill. But I've definitely had a few classmates or colleagues who just take paracetamol whenever they have a slight headache or something.
Ibuprofen is also anti-inflammatory while paracetamol isn't, so it can be used to reduce swelling (eg) rather than just for pain reduction
