    Tylenol is not a name brand of Aspirin, it’s a name brand of acetaminophen (paracetamol outside the US). They’re not even the same class of drug. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and acetaminophen is an analgesic. They each work differently and have separate mechanisms of action. You can even find them sold together (along with caffeine) in a single drug for migraines and severe headaches.
