- Acetaminophen a non-steroidal analgesic and antipyretic drug, is used for the treatment of a variety of arthritic and rheumatic conditions with musculoskeletal pain and in other painful disorders such as headache, dysmenorrhea, myalgia, and neuralgia. It is also indicated in conditions accompanied by generalized discomfort or fever, such as common cold and viral infections. It is contained in over 100 products and is commonly found in the U.S. and other parts of world as immediate release tablets and as extended-release preparations. Various formulations such as children's chewable, suspension and elixir formulations that contain acetaminophen are prevalent.
- Acetaminophen continues to be the most commonly encountered substance in toxic ingestions. In many cases, acetaminophen overdoses are unintentional and are undiagnosed until after substantial damage has already occurred. Acetaminophen is considered to be safe at the therapeutic levels. However, repeated administration of acceptable size doses of acetaminophen can produce toxicity symptoms. An overdose of Acetaminophen in human is fairly common, being yearly in USA the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centres and accounting for more than 56,000 emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and an estimated 458 deaths. Acetaminophen overdose is often associated with acute liver failure and renal damage in humans. [0005] As reported by Donovan (1999) Academic Emergency Med.
- IV acetaminophen Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen is indicated for the short-term treatment of moderate and severe pain following surgery and for the treatment of fever. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) motility is decreased in the immediate post-operative period and it is the period when the patient needs immediate pain relief. As oral formulation cannot be given during this time period, IV acetaminophen offers the advantage of providing rapid analgesia and reduced opioid requirement. In short, IV acetaminophen offers immediate and short term treatment of pain and fever. However, when administering acetaminophen through IV route, one must be cautious in patients under 50 kilogram of weight.
- GIT Gastrointestinal tract
- acetaminophen in the field of critical care medicine has broaden the utilization of acetaminophen especially in patients who are unable to take oral medication due to impaired GIT motility contraindication to nasogastric tube use, or who require faster onset of pain or fever reduction.
- acetaminophen use may be a risk factor for the development of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema in adolescent children.
- Intravenous (IV) Acetaminophen is an excellent post-operative analgesic and antipyretic in children. It is believed that acetaminophen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) enzymes. Studies bring to light that therapeutic doses of IV acetaminophen are effective and tolerable in children with least chances of hepatotoxicity. However, overdose toxicity has been reported in children and drug induced hypotension in febrile critically ill patients. Therapeutic doses according to body weight of neonates and children can be administered in hospital settings. Special education of health care staff regarding precise dose and solution is necessary to assess the role of IV acetaminophen preparation in pediatric practice.
- COX-2 cyclooxygenase- 2
- Acetaminophen is packed under different trade names by various companies, causing unexpected overdosing in patients and parents who are not educated well about the product and package information. Moreover, most of the over-the-counter preparations given for common cold and pain generally comprise acetaminophen, which is listed among a series of generic drug names that are difficult for patients and parents to read. Therefore, patients often do not know how much acetaminophen that they have received. The antipyretic value of acetaminophen clearly has been demonstrated and hence acetaminophen is widely used in hospitals for this purpose. However, acetaminophen may not be the antipyretic agent of choice under circumstances where renal or hepatic function is in danger of being compromised.

Description
PARENTERAL ACETAMINOPHEN FOR INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION FORTIFIED WITH AMINO ACIDS AND VITAMIN FOR COUNTERACTING ACETAMINOPHEN INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY AND NEPHROTOXICITY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to technical field of pharmaceutical formulation. In particular, the present disclosure relates to injectable composition of acetaminophen for intravenous administration, and to methods of preventing or reducing side effects or toxicity associated with acetaminophen administration.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, is one of the most widely used pharmaceutical analgesic and antipyretic agents in the world. Acetaminophen, a non-steroidal analgesic and antipyretic drug, is used for the treatment of a variety of arthritic and rheumatic conditions with musculoskeletal pain and in other painful disorders such as headache, dysmenorrhea, myalgia, and neuralgia. It is also indicated in conditions accompanied by generalized discomfort or fever, such as common cold and viral infections. It is contained in over 100 products and is commonly found in the U.S. and other parts of world as immediate release tablets and as extended-release preparations. Various formulations such as children's chewable, suspension and elixir formulations that contain acetaminophen are prevalent.
[0004] Acetaminophen continues to be the most commonly encountered substance in toxic ingestions. In many cases, acetaminophen overdoses are unintentional and are undiagnosed until after substantial damage has already occurred. Acetaminophen is considered to be safe at the therapeutic levels. However, repeated administration of acceptable size doses of acetaminophen can produce toxicity symptoms. An overdose of Acetaminophen in human is fairly common, being yearly in USA the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centres and accounting for more than 56,000 emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and an estimated 458 deaths. Acetaminophen overdose is often associated with acute liver failure and renal damage in humans.
[0005] As reported by Donovan (1999) Academic Emergency Med. 6: 1079-1082, even in the simple case of a single acute ingestion of Acetaminophen, patients with no discernible risk factors for liver injury and low blood levels of Acetaminophen, still develop toxicity and even die. So, there is a need for beneficial agents to reduce toxicity for formulations comprising small doses of Acetaminophen.
[0006] Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen is indicated for the short-term treatment of moderate and severe pain following surgery and for the treatment of fever. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) motility is decreased in the immediate post-operative period and it is the period when the patient needs immediate pain relief. As oral formulation cannot be given during this time period, IV acetaminophen offers the advantage of providing rapid analgesia and reduced opioid requirement. In short, IV acetaminophen offers immediate and short term treatment of pain and fever. However, when administering acetaminophen through IV route, one must be cautious in patients under 50 kilogram of weight. The introduction of IV acetaminophen in the field of critical care medicine has broaden the utilization of acetaminophen especially in patients who are unable to take oral medication due to impaired GIT motility contraindication to nasogastric tube use, or who require faster onset of pain or fever reduction. However, acetaminophen use may be a risk factor for the development of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema in adolescent children.
[0007] Intravenous (IV) Acetaminophen is an excellent post-operative analgesic and antipyretic in children. It is believed that acetaminophen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) enzymes. Studies bring to light that therapeutic doses of IV acetaminophen are effective and tolerable in children with least chances of hepatotoxicity. However, overdose toxicity has been reported in children and drug induced hypotension in febrile critically ill patients. Therapeutic doses according to body weight of neonates and children can be administered in hospital settings. Special education of health care staff regarding precise dose and solution is necessary to assess the role of IV acetaminophen preparation in pediatric practice.
[0008] Acetaminophen is packed under different trade names by various companies, causing unexpected overdosing in patients and parents who are not educated well about the product and package information. Moreover, most of the over-the-counter preparations given for common cold and pain generally comprise acetaminophen, which is listed among a series of generic drug names that are difficult for patients and parents to read. Therefore, patients often do not know how much acetaminophen that they have received. The antipyretic value of acetaminophen clearly has been demonstrated and hence acetaminophen is widely used in
hospitals for this purpose. However, acetaminophen may not be the antipyretic agent of choice under circumstances where renal or hepatic function is in danger of being compromised. Children are especially vulnerable to accidental exposure due to their smaller size, the presence of acetaminophen in multiple over-the-counter remedies, and a reluctance to administer aspirin and other NSAIDs to children for fever due to the risk of Reye's Syndrome and renal tubular injury.
[0009] Excess acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver via the mixed function oxidase P450 system to a toxic, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone-Imine (NAPQI). NAPQI has an extremely short half-life and is rapidly conjugated with glutathione, a sulfhydryl donor, and removed from the system. Under conditions of excessive NAPQI formation or reduced glutathione stores, NAPQI is free to bind to vital proteins and the lipid bilayer of hepatocytes. This results in hepatocellular death and subsequent centrilobular liver necrosis. Immuno- histochemical studies have suggested that NAPQI-protein adducts appear even at sub- hepatotoxic acetaminophen doses and before depletion of total hepatic glutathione which may be related to rare cases of hypersensitivity. In addition, decreased intracellular cysteine/glutathione can contribute to cell death via mechanisms that do not involve NAPQI.
[00010] The direct cost of acetaminophen overdose has been estimated to be $87 million annually. Effective protocols have been developed and tested to stratify risk and treat patients who present soon after a single large dose of acetaminophen. However, many patients present after a delay long enough to metabolize all the acetaminophen, after two or more ingestions over several hours, or after several days of excessive self-medication. Under these circumstances it is difficult for the clinician to estimate the risk of adverse outcome before hepatic or renal injury occurs. However, early treatment of acetaminophen over-dosage is considered to be crucial, and vigorous supportive therapy is essential when intoxication is severe.
[00011] Consequently, there remains a recognized need for improved injectable formulations of acetaminophen that provide desired therapeutic effect while preventing or reducing side effects or toxicity associated with acetaminophen administration.
[00012] The present disclosure satisfies the existing needs, as well as others, and generally overcomes the deficiencies found in the prior art.
