imposedsensationSkeptical of anybody who calls it Paracetamol.
What do you call it?
Capt. WolfTylenol, acetaminophen in the US.
It’s paracetamol everywhere else.
simpleTIL paracetamol isn’t a worldwide thing. Huh.
TIL acetaminophen isn’t a worldwide thing :)
The whole Tylenol thing is because they’re the ones who originally patented it. Same for Advil and ibuprofen.
The chemical was discovered in the 19th century. Tylenol is a US thing, the common name in Europe is Panadol.
Panadol is a brand name, but I’ve never heard anyone here refer to the product by that name
Yes, so is Tylenol. I was saying the J&J didn’t discover paracetamol, they were just the first to market it in the US (or, more likely, bought the company that did).
Same with Europe, Panadol, and GSK.
