OEL Fastrac Catalog

Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is an analgesic antipyretic indicated for the treatment of pain and fever due to common cold or flu, backache, headache, arthritis, menstrual and premenstrual cramps, muscular aches, sore throat, and toothache. Acetaminophen inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenases directly in the central nervous system. It does not inhibit cyclooxygenase in peripheral tissues, therefore, has no peripheral anti-inflammatory effects (5). It reduces fever as a result of vasodilation and increased peripheral blood flow through direct action on hypothalamic heat-regulating center. The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not fully understood.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.
