Pharmacological action Acetaminophen is an analgesic-antipyretic. It has analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory action. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, the predominant influence on the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus, enhances heat ...
This article discusses research done on acetaminophen and its mechanism of action. It references a study that appeared in the April 2006 issue of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. A growing body of evidence suggested that it operates centrally, and it has been suggested that the serotonergic ...

The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the inhibition of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX) in the central nervous system. This enzyme is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which play a role in pain perception and regul...
antirheumatic properties. It was recently shown that acetaminophen, like aspirin, inhibits cyclooxygenase action in the brain and is even stronger than aspirin. On the other hand, the mechanism of analgesic action of acetaminophen is not fully clear, since it acts poorly on peripheral cyclooxygenase....
Mechanism Of Action Hydrocodone is full opioid agonist with relative selectivity for the mu-opioid (μ) receptor, although it can interact with other opioid receptors at higher doses. The principal therapeutic action of hydrocodone is analgesia. Like all full opioid agonists, there is no ceiling ...
Mechanism Of Action Oxycodone HCl is an opioid agonist and is relatively selective for the mu receptor, although it can interact with other opioid receptors at higher doses. The principal therapeutic action of oxycodone is analgesia. Like all opioid agonists, there is no ceiling effect to analgesi...
depression.The precise mechanism of the analgesic action is unknown. However, specific CNS opioid receptors for endogenous compounds with opioid-like activity have been identified throughout the brain and spinal cord and are thought to play a role in the analgesic effects of this drug.The precise ...
12.1 Mechanism of Action The precise mechanism of the analgesic and antipyretic properties of acetaminophen is not established but is thought to primarily involve central actions. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Acetaminophen has been shown to have analgesic and antipyretic activities in animal and human studies. ...
Mechanism of Action Codeine is an opioid agonist relatively selective for the mu-opioid receptor, but with a much weaker affinity than morphine. The analgesic properties of codeine have been speculated to come from its conversion to morphine, although the exact mechanism of analgesic action remains ...
