acetaminophen and Muscular Dystrophy

acetaminophen has been researched along with Muscular Dystrophy in 3 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

" The dosage of paracetamol ingested was within current guidance yet there was sudden derangement of liver function."1.56Normal dose paracetamol in muscular dystrophy patients - is it normal? ( Philipose, Z; Teo, KS; Yin, JL, 2020)
"We determined acetaminophen protein adduct levels, in combination with a literature review and systematic evaluation of the cases, using the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method for drug-induced liver injury to assess causality between recommended acetaminophen dosing and acute liver failure in two children with myopathies."1.37Acute liver failure after recommended doses of acetaminophen in patients with myopathies. ( Ceelie, I; de Wildt, SN; Gijsen, V; Ito, S; James, LP; Koren, G; Mathot, RA; Tesselaar, CD; Tibboel, D, 2011)
"We report two cases of fulminant hepatic failure caused by therapeutic (4 g x day(-1)) paracetamol administration on our Intensive Care Unit."1.35Acute liver failure following therapeutic paracetamol administration in patients with muscular dystrophies. ( Grant, IS; Pearce, B, 2008)
