    Americans know “paracetamol” about as well as you apparently know “acetaminophen”.

    They are the same compound.

    “Paracetamol” is the generic term used in Europe and Australia. “Acetaminophen” is the generic term commonly used in the Americas.

      Americans barely know ‘acetaminophen’ , too. Some, sure. Most know Tylenol.
