Acetaminophen

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Given the research on back pain, is acetaminophen likely to help my kind of pain?
• What is the most I can safely take in a day, given my age, alcohol use, liver health and other medicines?
• Do any of my other medicines, such as prescription pain pills or cold and sleep products, contain acetaminophen?
• I take a blood thinner. Does acetaminophen change how it works?
• How long should I try it before we decide whether it is helping?
• Would an NSAID, a topical product, or a non-drug option make more sense for me?
• What should I do if I take too much by accident?
