"Acetaminophen is not an NSAID"

It's considered an NSAID for the purposes of tracking drug-related mortality even though it's not really an anti-inflammatory. To quote Wikipedia:

"It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) by some sources,[12] and not as an NSAID by others,[13] while most sources implicitly distinguish them, for example by mentioning both NSAIDs and paracetamol in the same sentence.[14][15]"
