minus-squareEm Adespotonlinkfedilink4•5 months 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]linkfedilink2•5 months agoThe chemical was discovered in the 19th century. Tylenol is a US thing, the common name in Europe is Panadol.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•5 months agoPanadol is a brand name, but I’ve never heard anyone here refer to the product by that name
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•5 months 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.
