In the US, Tylenol is the term commonly used instead of acetaminophen (Tylenol has been a major brand name for acetaminophen for many decades and is quite prevalent) and I thought perhaps you had Aspirin and Tylenol mixed up. I've never actually heard someone refer to Tylenol as Aspirin, and I've never heard of Aspirin being a generic term for painkiller, so I attempted to come up with what I had thought might be a more plausible explanation based on my experiences.

- wink 5y agoI guess it's just very localized for some meds. Took a while until I grasped what Sudafed is because afaik it's not even on the market here and never has been. There was some sort of Pseudoephedrin pill I actually took against hayfever a while ago, but not the standard "clogged nose because cold thing" (please excuse if I described Sudafed poorly, but see above) :)
