Q

Does acetaminophen have antiplatelet effects? Why or why not?

A

No, possibly due to poor function in the presence of peroxides (as found in sites of inflammation)

Q

How does acetaminophen end up at a toxic intermediate?

A

Mostly metabolized via conjugation, but minor pathway via P450 enzymes may lead to toxic intermediate (N-acetyl-benzoquinoneimine) – REVERSE WITH ACETYLCYSTEIN
