What is the equivalent to acetaminophen in italy?

What is acetaminophen called in Italy?

In Italy, acetaminophen is commonly known as paracetamolo (paracetamol) [1].

What products can you ask for at an Italian pharmacy?

Italian pharmacies typically sell paracetamol under the generic name paracetamolo and sometimes under brand names that include “paracetamol/paracetamolo.” You can ask for “paracetamolo” for fever and pain relief [1].

Is it the same medicine as Tylenol?

Yes. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the same active ingredient as paracetamolo in Italy [1].

How is it usually taken (and what should you watch for)?

Italian paracetamol products work the same way as acetaminophen elsewhere: they’re used for pain and fever. As with any paracetamol/acetaminophen product, you should follow the package dosing and avoid exceeding the daily maximum, since too much can damage the liver.
