It’s what the rest of the world uses for headaches and general illnesses. I think Americans use aspirin instead of paracetamol.

Americans only take aspirin if they have heart problems. Generally speaking, for headaches/muscle pain we will take acetaminophen, ibuprophen, or naproxen.

It works as a multiplier for other pain meds as well. Take paracetamol combined with ibuprofen and you get the pain relief of a low level opioid like tramadol.

Aspirin is a different drug than paracetamol/acetaminophen.

We know it by its other name Acetaminophen.
