Use For fever and pain relief. Acetaminophen is a medicine that is used for mild to moderate pain and fever in adults and children. Acetaminophen is often used in people who cannot take anti-inflammatories (e.g. due to stomach ulcer), as it is gentle on the stomach. Acetaminophen is less likely than anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to cause worsening of asthma or an asthma attack. For children, Acetaminophen is the most commonly prescribed medicine to reduce a high temperature or for pain relief. It works by blocking the making of prostaglandins (pros-ta-glan-dins) which can cause pain (including headaches), fever (high temperature), and inflammation (swelling and redness). Acetaminophen is not very good at reducing inflammation, but is very effective at reducing pain and fever. It is used both for acute pain (e.g. headache, accident) and for chronic pain (e.g. osteo-arthritis). It is sometimes used for cancer pain. Acetaminophen is available in tablets, capsules, soluble tablets, children’s mixtures and suppositories.
