Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and paracetamol (Panadol) are the same medication. Both drugs are chemically the same: C8H9NO2. The drug is called acetaminophen in the United States and Japan, and paracetamol in Europe and most of the rest of the world.

It has always been troubling. When pregnant mums run a long fever, the babies can develop neuro issues. But taking these, appears to affect babies too.

the “long fever” or prolonged fever may be from a viral infection or other underlying issues such as bacterial contamination or inflamation caused by several sources. tylenol doesn’t fix nor address these issues at the root cause. the best course of action for a pregnant mom with high fever is to see a competent doctor immediately to find the root cause, not to prolong the fever nor seek temporal relief from off the shelf medication. the problem is too many americans want immediate relief for the slightest discomfort and will pop a pill or capsule thinking it is a cure. and too many are too lazy and impatient (no pun intended) to make an appointment and see a doctor. all these off the shelf medications are colorfully and brightly packaged for a reason - they are heavily marketed in media and advertisements by big pharma to push sexpensive and fast “relief” to those (and their fellow hypercondriac bozos) who easily fall for their bs.
 
Doctors, dentists, and specialists often recommend paracetamol to alleviate various types of pain, including toothaches, headaches, limb discomfort, and body aches.

See doctor is not cheap in US and they don't have GPs all over the town like us. When I was unwell in US, my friends also told me to speak to pharmacists at Walgreens to get medicine, before heading to real doctors if symptoms persisted. More likely, i would get similar medications from doctors (except antibiotics or prescription meds)

Lately, i also did the same in singapore before going to GP because my company medical benefits don't have coverage for GP.

When I go to GP, i use my CDC vouchers.
