Acetaminophen is a drug derived from p-aminophenol that reduces pain and fever. Its exact action is not fully known, but it may raise the pain threshold by affecting nitric oxide-related pathways linked to several neurotransmitter receptors, and it may lower fever by reducing prostaglandin activity in the central nervous system.
