Acetaminophen is a medication commonly used to alleviate fever and pain. Common brands include
Tylenol®, Percoset®, aspirin free Excedrin®, Feverall®, Liquiprin®, Panadol®, Tempra®, Pamprin®, Midol® and various sinus, cold and flu medications. It is often found in combination in cold and flui products – many of which are labeled as "aspirin-free".
Acetaminophen is available in various formulations including tablets, liquids, liquigels, rectal suppositories and chewable tablets. It also comes in a variety of strengths per unit including children's strength (80 mg), junior strength (160 mg), regular strength (325 mg), extra strength (500 mg), and various strengths of infant and children's elixirs.
Cats are much more sensitive to acetaminophen than dogs and are therefore more susceptible to acetaminophen toxicity. One regular strength acetaminophen tablet is toxic and potentially lethal to a cat.
Sources say that Many prescription and alot of antiboitic brands of analgesic and antipyretic drugs contain acetaminophen or its ethyl ether, phenacetin.
This drug can cause depression, vomiting, cat may show signs of weakness and even death.
