Acetaminophen, also known as N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP) or paracetamol in many countries, is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent utilized for treating pain and fever. Numerous diseases and conditions include pain as a significant component of their presentation. Consequently, effective pain management holds great importance for both clinicians and patients. Clinicians can use acetaminophen for their patients as a single agent for mild-to-moderate pain or in conjunction with an opioid analgesic for severe pain. This activity outlines the utilization, indications, administration, contraindications, and toxicity of acetaminophen, emphasizing the integral role of the interprofessional healthcare team in the care of patients using acetaminophen.
