Pretty sure Aminofen is the same as acetaminofen, just maybe a different form. Ask your doctor.

Aminofen is acetaminophen. It's a trade name. So is Tylenol. As for using it along with an NSAID:

Google is your friend OP.

I called my doctor and they didn't know. What the hell. I only want a yes or no answer so what you typed " As for using it along with an NSAID " is not a yes or no answer.

This reply doesn't make much sense. Didn't know what? Whether Aminofen was an NSAID or whether you can safely take Aminofen and an NSAID together? I am shocked your doctor didn't know whether Aminofen was an NSAID or not. It isn't as already explained. It's an equivalent of Tylenol. Tylenol is not an NSAID.

As for your other question about combining an NSAID with Aminofen (or Tylenol for that matter), there isn't a yes or no answer because it isn't a yes or no question! If you only want to take both one time to relieve very intense pain for a few hours, the answer could be yes you can. If you want to take both every day for a month to relieve chronic pain, the answer would probably be no. The more you take over a longer period, the higher your risk of complications: stomach irritation, liver problems, etc. So sorry, but life doesn't tend to be that simple.

The title to your thread is:

"Is Aminofen a otc nsaids?"

The answer to that question is "no, it is not."

The previous poster was directing you (with a hyperlink) to a website that goes into detail explaining about taking acetaminophen with nsaids.

Aminofen is a brand name outside the USA for acetaminophen. The popular brand for that in the USA is Tylenol, but several manufacturers make it under different brand names.

nsaids is not a thing. NSAID (all caps) stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug. N. S. A. I. D. A popular generic for that is ibuprofen, and a popular USA brand is Motrin.

You can mix the two, if directed to do so by your physician, and as long as you don't exceed the recommended dosage.

All of this information would have been available to you, had you clicked on the previous poster's link. Or done a google search.

Yes
We have that—and use it
Not poison—and not something to use any time you want an analgesic

Right...lol...I don't think anyone knows what pharmacists are for anymore. They can do so much more than press labels on bottles.
