Acetaminophen for Self-Management of Pain Pain is an indication that something is wrong with our bodies and thus pain should not be ignored. There are many causes and types of pain. Some causes of pain can be managed at home, whereas other causes of pain cannot be managed with self-care and are in fact a medical emergency. When in doubt, or if pain occurs suddenly, if it changes, do get it checked out by a healthcare professional. There are several medications available to treat minor, short-term pain that can be obtained from a pharmacy. Acetaminophen is a commonly used agent for treatment of pain and fever. How acetaminophen reduces pain is not clearly understood. Persons with severe liver disease should discuss acetaminophen use with their health care provider. Those who use alcohol (more than 2 drinks a day for men and more than 1 drink/day for women), or those who require acetaminophen for more than 5-7 days should also consult with their healthcare provider. Although acetaminophen is generally considered safe at usual doses, there are some medications and supplements that can interact with acetaminophen. Some products that affect acetaminophen include, but are not limited to the following: alcohol, echinacea, fenofibrate (used to treat cholesterol), phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication) and carbamazepine (used for nerve pain, and seizures). Talk to your pharmacist if you start taking acetaminophen to check if you are on medication that can interact. Everyone should try to use the lowest effective dose to treat their pain without going over the maximum dose for any one dose, or within a 24- hour period. A healthy average sized adult can use 4000mg of acetaminophen, spaced out as indicated on the package directions. However, lower doses of 2400 to 3000mg may be recommended for some individuals, including but not limited to smaller individuals, the elderly, or those who use acetaminophen long-term. Many products sold for not only pain but cough and cold, fever, and muscle pain contain acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a common cause of unintentional poisoning. Thus, it is essential that people ensure they are not taking more acetaminophen than recommended. It is important to know how to check if a product contains acetaminophen, how many milligrams (mg) are in each tablet, and how to calculate what you are taking. If this seems complicated check with your pharmacist. Also, store medications in a secure location, where children and pets cannot get at them. Most commercial acetaminophen products are best stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, but check the product for specific directions on storage requirements. If you believe someone has taken more acetaminophen than recommended it is important to seek medical help immediately. In BC you can call poison control toll free at 1-800-567-8911. Other medications used to treat minor pain that can be used without a prescription include topical medications and anti-inflammatory oral medications (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetylsalicylic acid). These medications will be discussed in a future article and have their own risks and benefits. Bonne M. BSc(Pharm), RPh Catherine M.
