What is acetaminophen, and what is it used for?
Acetaminophen belongs to a class ofdrugscalled analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not known. It may reduce the production of prostaglandins in the brain. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling. Acetaminophen relieves pain by elevating the pain threshold, that is, by requiring a greater amount of pain to develop before a person feels it. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-regulating center of the brain. Specifically, it tells the center to lower the body's temperature when the temperature is elevated.
Acetaminophen is used for the relief of fever as well as aches and pains associated with many conditions. Acetaminophen relieves pain in mildarthritisbut has no effect on the underlying inflammation, redness, and swelling of the joint. If the pain is not due to inflammation, acetaminophen is as effective asaspirin.
Acetaminophen is as effective as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugibuprofen(Motrin) in relieving the pain ofosteoarthritisof the knee. Unless directed by a physician, acetaminophen should not be used for longer than 10 days.
The FDA approved acetaminophen in 1951.

问题
See AnswerWhat drugs interact with acetaminophen?
- Acetaminophen is metabolized (eliminated by conversion to other chemicals) by the liver. Therefore drugs that increase the action ofliver enzymesthat metabolize acetaminophen, [for example,carbamazepine(Tegretol),isoniazid, rifampin (Rifamate,Rifadin, andRimactane),] reduce the levels of acetaminophen and may decrease the effectiveness action of acetaminophen.
- Doses of acetaminophen greater than the recommended doses are toxic to the liver and may result in severe liver damage. The potential for acetaminophen to harm the liver is increased when it is combined with alcohol or drugs that also harm the liver.
- Cholestyramine(Questran) reduces the effect of acetaminophen by decreasing its absorption into the body from the intestine. Therefore, acetaminophen should be administered 3 to 4 hours after cholestyramine or one hour before cholestyramine .
- Acetaminophen doses greater than 2275 mg per day may increase the blood thinning effect of华法令阻凝剂(Coumadin,Jantoven) by an unknown mechanism. Therefore, prolonged administration or large doses of acetaminophen should be avoided during warfarin therapy.
