minus-squareEm Adespotonlinkfedilink4•17 days agoTIL 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.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•17 days agoPanadol is a brand name, but I’ve never heard anyone here refer to the product by that name
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•16 days agoYes, 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.
