  Regular use also fucks up your organs. Paracetamol (Tylenol) kills your liver, and ibuprofen kills your kidneys.

      acetaminophen = paracetamol = Tylenol

      One compound, different names.

      Acetaminophen and paracetamol are the same thing.

      Others have answered, but I’ll say it anyway.

      Paracetamol is used in most of the world, and by the WHO. Acetaminophen is the adopted name in the United States, Canada, and Japan. US pharmacies also use APAP. The most common trade names are Tylenol and Panadol. They all refer to the same stuff.
