AB Acetaminophen  (Anacin-3,  Liquiprin,  Panadol,  Paracetamol,  Tempra,  Tylenol,  and  many  other  brands)  is  a  widely  used  drug  found  in  many  over-the-counter  and  prescription  analgesics  and  cold  remedies.  When  it  is  combined  with  another  drug,  such  as  diphenhydramine,  codeine,  hydrocodone,  oxycodone,  dextromethorphan,  or  propoxyphene,  the  more  dramatic  acute  symptoms  caused  by  the  other  drug  may  mask  the  mild  and  nonspecific  symptoms  of  early  acetaminophen  toxicity,  resulting  in  a  missed  diagnosis  or  delayed  antidotal  treatment.  Common  combination  products  containing  acetaminophen  include  the  following:  Darvocet,  Excedrin  ES,  Lorcet,  Norco,  NyQuil,  Percocet,  Unisom  Dual  Relief  Formula,  Sominex  2,  Tylenol  with  Codeine,  Tylenol  PM,  Tylox,  Vicks  Formula  44-D,  and  Vicodin.
