Acetaminophen is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system and subsequently blocking pain impulses. Common adverse reactions include hematologic effects, hepatic toxicity, and metabolic issues like hypoglycemic coma. The drug is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or severe liver disease. Patients should not exceed 4,000mg per day or use additional acetaminophen-containing products concurrently and should contact their prescriber if symptoms persist despite recommended dosing.
