Really? I thought they were two different types of pain relievers. I know it’s not in my head. Having grown up in the Middle East, I had always taken Panadol. And then when I moved to the US, I noticed a consistent difference between the two. Panadol works faster on me than tylenol regardless of how intense the headache. And I’m not imagining it. Once I took an extra strength Tylenol at school and a couple hours later, the headache was still there. The other strange thing is that Advil and Ibubrophen work faster on me than Tylenol. I wonder why. The latter is my least preferred option.

Panadol = Paracetamol = Tylenol = Acetaminophen

Advil = Mortin = Midol = **Ibuprofen

**I believe its just the matter of body’s reaction. Perhaps your body react quickly to Ibuprofen. Secondly, acetaminophnen is more of a fever reducer and not headache/pain reliever (even though it do take care of it to some extent)
