N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide, C ₈ H ₉ NO _2, ifimol.

English synonyms

Paracetamol, Acetaminophen, Ifimol.

Test method

High performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

Units

µg/mL (micrograms per milliliter).

What biomaterial can be used for research?

Venous blood.

How to properly prepare for an examination?

• Children under 1 year of age do not eat for 30-40 minutes before the test.
• Do not eat for 2-3 hours before the study, you can drink clean still water.
• Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.

Study background

Paracetamol/acetaminophen is one of the most popular and most commonly used pain and fever reducers worldwide. It serves as the drug of choice for patients who are contraindicated in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), in people with bronchial asthma, peptic ulcer, hemophilia, among children, pregnant and lactating women. Paracetamol is well tolerated and causes few gastrointestinal side effects with the correct dosage regimen, however, the number of reported cases of paracetamol-induced liver damage is steadily increasing every year worldwide.

Paracetamol is an antipyretic analgesic, that is, a drug with analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory action. The mechanism of action is associated with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, the predominant effect on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus by reducing its excitability. Paracetamol therapy is effective, well tolerated by most patients, and safe when used at therapeutic doses. However, the use of paracetamol, even at therapeutic doses in underweight individuals who abuse alcohol, or when taken with other drugs, can cause serious liver damage. In addition, paracetamol is “hidden” in other drugs under different names. Long-term use of high doses of paracetamol is associated with the risk of adverse reactions such as hypertension, myocardial infarction or renal failure. In addition, the side effects of paracetamol include agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia, renal colic, aseptic pyuria, interstitial glomerulonephritis, allergic reactions in the form of skin rashes. Symptoms of an overdose of the drug include pallor, nausea, vomiting and pain in the abdominal region, after 12-48 hours damage to the kidneys and liver may begin with the development of liver failure (encephalopathy, coma, death), cardiac arrhythmias and pancreatitis.

The use of paracetamol in children requires special care and the choice of an adequate dosage (depending on age), which differs significantly from the standard adult.

What is research used for?

• Detection of the toxic level of the drug.
• Monitoring of the concentration of paracetamol in the blood.
• Evaluation of drug interactions.

When is the test ordered?

• If an overdose of the drug is suspected.
• With the development of side effects of paracetamol.

What do the results mean?

Reference values: 10 – 20 µg/ml.

The results of the study are evaluated by the attending physician, taking into account the dose of paracetamol, its regimen, the patient’s age, comorbidities and individual drug tolerance.

After a single dose of 500 mg, the maximum plasma concentration is reached after 10-60 minutes and is about 6 mcg / ml, then gradually decreases and after 6 hours is 11-12 mcg / ml.

What can influence the result?

• Metoclopramide increases the rate of absorption of acetaminophen.
• Colestyramine reduces the rate of absorption of acetaminophen.

Important notes

• Paracetamol increases the risk of hemorrhagic complications.
• Concomitant use of paracetamol and alcoholic beverages increases the risk of liver damage and acute pancreatitis.
• Hypnotic drugs increase the side effects of paracetamol, can lead to liver damage even with non-toxic doses of paracetamol, so liver function should be monitored.
• Long-term co-administration of paracetamol and NSAIDs increases the risk of developing nephropathy and end-stage renal disease.
• Paracetamol increases the effect of indirect anticoagulants, so INR should be monitored.
• Taking paracetamol increases the chance of liver damage from hepatotoxic drugs.

Who orders the examination?

Therapist, hepatologist, nephrologist, rheumatologist, toxicologist.

Intravenous Administration

For doses less than 1000 mg, the appropriate dose must be removed from the vial and placed in a separate container prior to administration. Using aseptic technique, remove the appropriate dose (650 mg or by weight) from the intact acetaminophen-CODEINE sealed vial and place the measured dose in a separate, empty, sterile container (e.g., glass vial, plastic IV container, or syringe) for IV infusion to avoid inadvertent delivery and administration of the entire volume of the commercially available container.

Do not add other drugs to the acetaminophen and CODEINE solution. Diazepam and chlorpromazine hydrochloride are not physically compatible with CODEINE acetaminophen and should therefore not be given concomitantly.

What other drugs will affect Acetaminophen CODEINE YALINOSIS?

Acetaminophen CODEINE JALINOSIS is metabolized (excreted into other chemicals) by the liver. Therefore, drugs that enhance the action of liver enzymes that are metabolized by paracetamol codeine JALINOUS [eg, carbamazepine (Tegretol), isoniazid (INH, Nydrazid, Laniazid), rifampicin (Rifamate, Rifadin, Rimactane)] reduce the levels of paracetamol and codeine JALINOUS may reduce the effects of paracetamol codeine JALINOUS. Doses of CODEINE JALINOUS acetaminophen in excess of the recommended doses are toxic to the liver and can lead to severe liver damage. The likelihood that codeine acetaminophen can harm the liver increases when it is combined with alcohol or drugs that also harm the liver.

Cholestyramine (Questran) reduces the effect of acetaminophen on CODEINE by reducing its absorption into the body from the intestines. Therefore, acetaminophen CODEINE YALINOS should be administered 3-4 hours after cholestyramine or one hour before cholestyramine.

Acetaminophen CODEINE at doses greater than 2275 mg per day may increase the blood-thinning effect of warfarin (Coumadin) by an unknown mechanism. Therefore, prolonged use of acetaminophen or large doses of CODEINE should be avoided during warfarin therapy.
