The goal of this Phase III, multi-center study is to better understand how well acetaminophen works at a particular dosage level when given intravenously. For treatment of pain or fever, doctors frequently use acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol®. Acetaminophen, given by pill or suppository, is well understood. This study will help to understand the effectiveness and potential side effects of acetaminophen when given intravenously to children.
Inpatients of both genders, from newborns to age 17, requiring acetaminophen for treatment of pain or fever may participate in this study. Boys: Newborns up to age 17 Girls: Newborns up to age 17
Participants will be given acetaminophen intravenously on a schedule and with a dosage based on body weight over 5 to 7 days while in the hospital. A follow-up visit will be conducted 7 days after the last day the child receives intravenous acetaminophen. The clinic will make a follow-up phone call to check on the child’s health 30 days later. Visits: 1 beyond inpatient period Duration: About 1 month
