Paracetamol or Tylenol?

Published

Can anyone tell me what is the US equivalent of Paracetamol? Is it Tylenol or something else.I bought a Mosby's drug guide only to find it is the American version so some drugs will have different names.

Does anyone know of a website that gives the different names internationally for common drugs.

Looks like you are a new nurse in the country. Well, YES madam, PARACETAMOL and TYLENOL are the same thing.

Good Luck
