What sort of medication is Acetaminophen?
Acetaminophen is a mild analgetic
(pain reliever) and a fever reducer. It is alos known as APAP
(N-acetyl-para-aminophenol), and, mainly in Europe, as Paracetamol.
Lots of various medications
may contain Acetaminophen as an active ingredient. Among pills
manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals, we find different
combinations of Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone
(they can be listed as Watson generic versions for Lortab,
Norco and Vicodin, and combinations of
Acetaminophen and Oxycodone (Watson
generic versions for Percocet.
When using Acetaminophen, you have
remember that the medication is rather toxic and can be dangerous
for the liver. It is crucially important not to exceed the dose
of Acetaminophen that can be taken during 24 hours, which equals
4000mg. It is also not recommended to take more that 1000mg of
acetaminophen at a time. So, when using any medication that
contains Acetaminophen, you have to count in order not to overdose!
