I want to say "...as compared to paracetamol (i.e., Aspirin)"

I think this is fine, but is there a latin abbreviation that literally means "one and the same"?

    As compared to doesn't mean one and the same, and aspirin is not the same drug as paracetamol.

  • Why do you want a Latin abbreviation? Especially one that you are not familiar with and therefore your readers will probably not be familiar with, either.

  • Can you give a more complete example of how you want to use this because your example fragment doesn't really make sense by itself (and appears to be factually wrong).

Identical to

Paracetamol is identical to acetaminophen.

Aspirin is identical to acetylsalicylic acid.

If you are desperate for Latin: id est, almost always abbreviated "i.e."

She overdosed on paracetamol (i.e. acetaminophen).

Aspirin (i.e. acetylsalicylic acid) is a remarkable antiplatelet, antipyretic and analgesic agent.
