Is that some kind or hrt drug or something?
Americans call it acetaminophen, the rest of the world calls it paracetamol. It’s Tylenol.
It's more commonly known as acetaminophen. Mild pain reliever, like aspirin or Tylenol.
Is tylenol.
Acetylparaaminophenol i think is tge full name
Aka acetaminophen, aka APAP, aka paracetemol (why?) Aka too many fucking things.
The UK has different standards for naming drugs
Okay but that one's stupid. APAP is the only good one.
It’s what the rest of the world uses for headaches and general illnesses. I think Americans use aspirin instead of paracetamol.
Americans only take aspirin if they have heart problems. Generally speaking, for headaches/muscle pain we will take acetaminophen, ibuprophen, or naproxen.
We know it by its other name Acetaminophen.
Aspirin is a different drug than paracetamol/acetaminophen.
It works as a multiplier for other pain meds as well. Take paracetamol combined with ibuprofen and you get the pain relief of a low level opioid like tramadol.
Canada too apparently
