Acetaminophen Powder

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen or APAP, is a medication used to treat pain and fever.[9] It is typically used for mild to moderate pain.[9] Evidence of benefit in fever for children is poor.[10] It is often sold in combination with other ingredients such as in many cold medications.[9] In combination with opioid pain medication, paracetamol is used for more severe pain such as cancer pain and after surgery.[11] It is typically used either by mouth or rectally but is also available intravenously.[9][12] Effects last between two and four hours.[12]
