I'm an idiot, what's wrong with the extra strength acetaminophen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Its less the size and more the quantity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Cheaper items for big families seems like a win, but i know my merica is showing too much here. Someone pls be brutal and spell out what I'm missing

Oh damn, that's crazy. Yeah I know that it can wreck your liver but had no idea it could be so fast. Thought it was more a long term thing. TMYK.

What are you, a Dutch doctor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Is that some kind or hrt drug or something?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago

Americans call it acetaminophen, the rest of the world calls it paracetamol. It’s Tylenol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

It's more commonly known as acetaminophen. Mild pain reliever, like aspirin or Tylenol.

[–] outhouseperilous 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Is tylenol.

Acetylparaaminophenol i think is tge full name

Aka acetaminophen, aka APAP, aka paracetemol (why?) Aka too many fucking things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

aka paracetemol (why?)

The UK has different standards for naming drugs

[–] outhouseperilous 1 points 4 hours ago

Okay but that one's stupid. APAP is the only good one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Aspirin is a different drug than paracetamol/acetaminophen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

We know it by its other name Acetaminophen.

Canada too apparently
