藥物相互作用
- Other Analgesics: Chronic use with acetaminophen may lead to renal pathologies
- Barbiturates: Increased conversion of acetaminophen to hepatotoxic metabolites; potentially increased risk for hepatotoxicity
- Doxorubicin: May deplete hepatic glutathione, thereby leading to increased hepatic toxicity
- Halothane: Not recommended for postoperative analgesia in animals that received halothane anesthesia
- Isoniazid: Possible increased risk of hepatotoxicity
- Phenothiazines: Possible increased risk for hypothermia
- Propylene Glycol: May increase the severity of acetaminophen-induced methemoglobinemia or Heinz body formation
- Warfarin: Large doses may potentiate anticoagulant effects
