Effectiveness
How Darvocet-N 100 Affects PatientsAcetaminophen has been shown to reduce fever and relieve pain, but unlike other medicines in the same class, it does not have anti-inflammatory effects. It is also unlikely to cause allergic reactions. Acetaminophen does not affect the body's acid-base balance, disrupt tubular secretion of uric acid, or inhibit platelet aggregation when taken at the recommended doses.
How Darvocet-N 100 works in the bodyWe don't know exactly how acetaminophen works, but it's thought to increase the pain threshold by stopping two enzymes from producing molecules that cause pain. These enzymes are found in the brain and have no effect on other parts of the body. Acetaminophen also affects other brain centers which help regulate body temperature, which is why it can be used to reduce fever. More research is needed to understand acetaminophen's full mechanism of action.

Darvocet-N 100 Toxicity & Overdose RiskAcetaminophen is toxic at high doses in rats and mice, and can cause symptoms such as kidney damage, low blood sugar, low platelets, and liver failure. In rare cases, long-term use can lead to cancer in female rats. It is also potentially mutagenic and could disrupt chromosomes. Studies in animals have not shown any effects on fertility, but human studies are not available. During pregnancy, acetaminophen should only be used when necessary. Small amounts of the drug are found in breastmilk, so it should be used cautiously while nursing.
