Buscapina
Most probably it's Buscapina, which is the name paracetemol (an analgesic) is sold under in Spanish-speaking countries.

: en la ficha técnica de la Buscapina no figura el paracetamol, pero la traducción DEBE quedar tal cual, ya que Buscapina es una marca registrada. A nadie se le ocurriría traducir 7 Up por 7 Arriba....

Yes, thank you. Apparently it's Buscapina Compositum that has paracetamol added to it.

: yes it is Buscapina in Spanish but it's not paracetamol (darn Wikipedia) and in a translation one needs to have the local brand and/or generic name

The information about Buscapina Compositum did not come from Wikipedia. The web page http://www.buscapina.com.mx/com_es/Main/advice/advice_mens/m... mentions it as "el segundo ingrediente activo de Buscapina Compositum".
