Summary
To determine if zidovudine (AZT) and acetaminophen (APAP) interact when given to the same
patient, and if so, the manner of interaction. Patients with AIDS often require therapy with
painkillers for the management of mild pain and discomfort associated with their disease, and
APAP is often prescribed. AZT is being used to treat AIDS patients. It is important for
doctors to understand how AZT and APAP may interact when given to the same patient, because
other studies have suggested that the dosage of AZT may have to be adjusted when given with
APAP in order to avoid or minimize adverse effects.
