Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The active ingredient, Acetaminophen, is a well-known analgesic and antipyretic. It functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that are known to cause pain and inflammation.

These suppositories are designed to be inserted into a body cavity, typically the rectum, where they dissolve or melt to release the medication. The medication is then absorbed through the rectal mucosa, providing relief from symptoms within approximately 30 minutes. This method of administration can be particularly beneficial for children who may have difficulty swallowing pills, or for anyone who requires rapid relief from symptoms.

However, it is important to note that these suppositories should be used with caution in patients with liver disease, as Acetaminophen can potentially cause liver damage.

As with any medication, it is crucial to use Acetaminophen suppositories as directed by a healthcare professional. If you have any questions or concerns about using Acetaminophen suppositories to manage fever, pain, headache, arthritis, or dysmenorrhea, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
