minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up62·1 year agoNorth America and Japan are the only places in the world that don’t call it that
minus-squareimposedsensation@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down2·1 year agoThat’s very interesting, I had no idea. Yes, Tylenol or acetaminophen.
minus-squareCapt. Wolf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 year agoTylenol, acetaminophen in the US. It’s paracetamol everywhere else.
minus-squaresaltesc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoWhoah. So, never heard of those. But DDG tells me Tylenol is just a brand—talk about an effective monopoly.
minus-squaredisguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-21 year agoAdvil is ibuprofen and Aleve is naproxen. They tend to get the same brand treatment as Band-Aids and Vaseline in the US.
minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoCan you buy naproxen without a prescription over there? I thought you generally needed to pair it with something like omeprazole and the general public can’t be trusted to read instructions
minus-squaredisguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYes. It’s available over the counter. I’ve never heard of pairing it with omeprazole. What is the reason for that?
minus-squaretrxxruraxvr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoNSAIDS (type of painkiller) can cause or exacerbate stomach issues. Omeprazole is an antacid that can counter some of those issues.
minus-squareryathal@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoGenerally they just recommend taking nsaids with food, and it mostly solves the stomach problems.
