            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Hepatitis or severe hepatic or renal impairment

            Repeated administration in patients with anemia or with cardiac, pulmonary, or renal disease

            Cautions

            Risk of hepatotoxicity (higher in alcoholics and with use of >1 acetaminophen-containing product)

            If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use; it is especially important not to use ibuprofen at 20 weeks or later in pregnancy unless definitely directed to do so by a doctor; may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery

            Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

            Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding; exercise particular caution in patients with history of GI bleeding, alcoholism, or bleeding disorders

            Avoid with active peptic ulcer disease

            Avoid with severe renal impairment (ie, CrCl <10 mL/min)

            Avoid with severe hepatic impairment

            Acetaminophen: Risk for rare, but serious skin reactions that can be fatal; these reactions include Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP); symptoms may include skin redness, blisters and rash

            Headaches may worsen if this product is used for ≥10 days per month (ie, medication overuse headache)

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Avoid chronic or intermittent high doses of aspirin during pregnancy; may affect maternal and newborn hemostasis mechanisms, leading to an increased risk of hemorrhage

            High doses of aspirin may also increase perinatal mortality by intrauterine growth restriction and teratogenic effects

            Near term, aspirin may prolong gestation and labor

            Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus may occur if used near term with use of full-dose aspirin

            Seek advice of health professional before using OTC drugs during pregnancy

            Lactation

            Drug enters breast milk; a decision should be made regarding whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue drug, taking into account importance of drug to mother

            Seek advice of health professional before using OTC drugs while breastfeeding

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Acetaminophen: Acts on hypothalamus to produce antipyresis

            Aspirin: Acts on hypothalamus to produce antipyresis; anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to inhibition of prostaglandin synthetase, resulting in decreased formation of thromboxane A2

            Caffeine: Vasoconstrictive properties may be helpful in treatment of vascular headaches
