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"?

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.– user323578Commented Apr 14, 2019 at 9:35

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).– user323578Commented Apr 14, 2019 at 9:36
