What does ACM mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

ACM stands for Acetaminophen, which is a pain reliever and fever reducer commonly used in the United States. It is also known as Paracetamol outside of the US.

When taken according to the recommended dosage on the label or indicated by a healthcare professional, acetaminophen is generally considered safe to use. However, taking too much acetaminophen can be dangerous and even deadly in some cases.

You should always speak with your healthcare provider before taking any medications together, including acetaminophen. Some medications can interact negatively with acetaminophen, leading to serious side effects.

Individuals who are allergic to acetaminophen or have had liver damage due to its use should not take this medication. Additionally, individuals with certain chronic health conditions may need to avoid taking acetaminophen altogether or only take it under medical supervision.

The maximum amount that can be taken in a 24-hour period depends on your age group and specific medical condition; it's important to read the label carefully and follow directions closely. In most cases, you shouldn't exceed more than 4,000 milligrams (mg) of total acetaminophen per day unless specifically instructed otherwise by your doctor.
