3-Methoxy Acetaminophen-d3

3-Methoxy Acetaminophen-d3 is a deuterated form of the commonly known pain reliever, Acetaminophen. This medication is used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain caused by headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, colds, and menstrual cramps. It is often combined with other drugs such as codeine to increase its pain-relieving effect. The deuterium substitution in 3-Methoxy Acetaminophen-d3 provides a valuable tool for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of Acetaminophen metabolism and distribution in vivo. The chemical formula for 3-Methoxy Acetaminophen-d3 is C8H9D3NO3, and it has a molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol. It is classified as an analgesic and antipyretic medication. The deuterium isotope effect can result in altered metabolic pathways and different rates of drug clearance compared to non-deuterated Acetaminophen. 3-Methoxy Acetaminophen-d3 is typically administered orally in tablet or capsule form. The recommended dose varies depending on the patient's age and condition. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or pharmacist to avoid potential side effects and drug interactions.
