> What is called "Acetaminophen" in North America is called "Paracetamol" in Europe Not just in Europe, actually in most of the world. The international standard name (International Nonproprietary Name or INN approved by the WHO) is paracetamol. For some drugs, instead of using the international standard name, the United States uses its own alternate naming system, the United States Adopted Name (USAN). A handful of other countries (most notably Canada and Japan) follow the US naming convention and call it acetaminophen too; the vast majority of the planet follows the WHO standard and calls it paracetamol. |
