Poor article basically saying paracetamol is useless...

edit

To read this article, one would think that paracetamol is useless. Poor article. 2A00:23C8:9FF6:DC01:2147:38EA:4881:5694 (talk) 21:51, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Article likely should be redone.

I noted the PARACETAMOL - descriptor - minor comment - I am sure TYLENOL is the far bigger brand name - and I'm a Brit.


Agree with others - given how much paracetamol/tylenol is in use - the article almost seems dismissive. BeingObjective (talk) 20:15, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Australian Drug Scheduling

edit

Page currently refers to Paracetamol's Scheduling in Australia as "Rx Only" Since this is not a term used by the TGA to describe drug Scheduling, I believe it should be changed to say S4/S3/S2/Unscheduled. Kalebz456 (talk) 05:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Name of Article

edit

Shouldn't this article be titled "Acetaminophen" instead of "Paracetemol", given that this is the generic name for the substance in the United States (as well as Canada), as it notes? Of course, this depends on who the English edition of Wikipedia is for, but the number of English speakers in the United States is larger than that in the United Kingdom. Of course, Paracetemol should still redirect to it. Quadibloc (talk) 21:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree, I was somewhat surprised seeing paracetamol as its primary name. Also, there's a citation needed on the list of places that use the name acetaminophen. Not sure who wrote this, but as others have said, this article probably needs an overhaul. Jordan112011 (talk) 04:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
as per the manual of style, consistency is all that matters, though international names for things should be used.
Seeing as the WHO uses paracetamol over acetaminophen, perhaps it should remain paracetamol. 2A02:C7C:DA9E:C00:7D5E:3D8C:A61C:E1C4 (talk) 08:38, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
