Tylenol is just a paracetamol brand name in the US. TIL
I was kinda shocked when I learnt this. Like finding out that Digestive biscuits were called Graham crackers.
Their origin is a pretty interesting read too.

Yep it's just Paracetamol (aka Acetaminophen depending on your locality). Always buy the generic, it's the same shit in a less flashy box.
Ah.
Paracetamol, acetaminophen, and Tylenol are all shortened names of N-acetyl-para-aminophenol, putting together different bits of the chemical name.
