Abstract
Acetaminophen is known to be generally safe, and the occurrence of anaphylaxis due to acetaminophen has been rarely reported. We report a case of acetaminophen-induced anaphylaxis in a healthy male subject who participated in a clinical trial on the pharmacokinetics of ibandronate. The subject had not experienced an allergic reaction to acetaminophen prior to this incident. The patient received 1300 mg oral acetaminophen at about 12 hours after receiving 150 mg ibandronate. After about 10 minutes, the subject developed whole-body urticaria and hypotension. The temporal association suggested that the anaphylaxis was due to acetaminophen and not ibandronate. Anaphylaxis could occur due to acetaminophen even in the absence of allergic reactions in the first dosing.
期刊介绍:
Translational and Clinical Pharmacology (Transl Clin Pharmacol, TCP) is the official journal of the Korean Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (KSCPT). TCP is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the dissemination of knowledge relating to all aspects of translational and clinical pharmacology. The categories for publication include pharmacokinetics (PK) and drug disposition, drug metabolism, pharmacodynamics (PD), clinical trials and design issues, pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics, pharmacometrics, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilence, and human pharmacology. Studies involving animal models, pharmacological characterization, and clinical trials are appropriate for consideration.
