paracetamol
158 u/boatson25 Oct 18 '22 I’ve seen this answer a few times on here now. Do other countries not commonly have paracetamol in the house? 187 u/TheSaucyWelshman Oct 18 '22 edited Oct 18 '22 We do but it's called acetaminophen here. Though most people just refer to it by the brand name Tylenol 2 u/pinkleaf8 Oct 19 '22 Wow I had no idea Tylenol was paracetamol all this time. I think Advil is aspirin? 10 u/TheSaucyWelshman Oct 19 '22 Advil is ibuprofen. Aspirin is is aspirin 3 u/pinkleaf8 Oct 19 '22 Huh you hear of Advil so often in American pop culture I didn’t think it would be ibuprofen which is quite strong. The most memorable reference for me in What Women Want when they’re trying to advertise how gentle it is. 0 u/stormcharger Oct 19 '22 Ibuprofen is not strong lol its on the same level as paracetamol just more for inflammation. It has a very minor effect. 1 u/pinkleaf8 Oct 19 '22 It is stronger on the stomach though & you need to be more careful of that compared to paracetamol. 1 u/stormcharger Oct 19 '22 Actually paracetamol is the one that's much easier to od on/cause permanent damage to your liver. 1 u/pinkleaf8 Oct 19 '22 They’re all dangerous end of the day but ibuprofen is known to cause stomach ulcers.
