Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Acetaminophen is a widely available analgesic and antipyretic agent. It is commonly found in combination with opioids, decongestants, antihistamines, and other over-the-counter and prescription products. Patients may complain of nausea and vomiting shortly after a toxic ingestion, but patients may also be asymptomatic. Signs and symptoms of acute liver injury typically occur within 36 hours after acute ingestion. Occasionally, patients present to the emergency department after developing evidence of hepatotoxicity, not realizing that the large ingestion of an acetaminophen-based product is the etiology.
