摘要

Provided herein are methods for treating pain such as acute or chronic pain or fever in subject without risking hepatotoxicity. The subject may be at risk of hepatotoxicity if administrated an acetaminophen monomer. The method includes administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an acetaminophen dimer compound, wherein the phenolic hydroxyl groups of two acetaminophen compounds are linked via an ethylene spacer.
