Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin are trade (brand) names for the generic medication:

  1. acetaminophen

  2. aspirin

  3. ibuprofen

  4. nitrostat

The correct answer is: acetaminophen

Ibuprofen is the generic medication for the trade names Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin. This means that these three medications all contain the same active ingredient, ibuprofen. Acetaminophen, aspirin, and nitrostat are all different generic medications and would not be found under these trade names. Acetaminophen is the generic medication for Tylenol, aspirin is the generic medication for Bayer, and nitrostat is the generic medication for nitroglycerin. Therefore, while they may have similar effects, they are not equivalent to Advil, Nuprin, or Motrin.
