Y45: Analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs

Y45.5: 4-Aminophenol derivatives

4-Aminophenol derivatives are substances that may induce an adverse effect on a person's health when consumed or exposed to incorrectly. These compounds are often found in pharmaceutical drugs, including some types of analgesics and antipyretics. Response to these substances can vary greatly between individuals depending on various factors including consumption rate, dosage, and individual health conditions. Common symptoms of adverse effects can include abdominal pain, vomiting, confusion, and even skin rashes. In the most severe cases, the exposure to these substances can lead to more serious conditions such as acute kidney injury, anemia, or methemoglobinemia - a condition where the hemoglobin in red blood cells is altered, impairing their ability to carry oxygen through the body. These symptoms and conditions can present immediately or may develop over time with continued exposure or consumption of these substances. Prolonged exposure can further worsen the symptoms and increase the risk of serious health complications.
