minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years 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-squaretrxxruraxvr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoPanadol is a brand name, but I’ve never heard anyone here refer to the product by that name
minus-squareAqarius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years 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.
