Answers:
Aspirin is aspirin
But the other two you list are acetaminophen - so thats really only one drug

For another class of drug, you might want to consider Aleve (naproxyn sodium) - which also reduces inflammation and fever

Tink, Advil is ibuprofen, not acetaminophen. check your labels. No matter what brand names there is really only 4 kinds of over the counter pain reliever, naproxin, ibuprofen, aspirin and acetaminophen.
