Indication
OFIRMEV
®
(acetaminophen) Injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to
severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever.
WARNING: RISK OF MEDICATION ERRORS AND HEPATOTOXICITY
Take care when prescribing, preparing, and administering OFIRMEV injection to avoid dosing errors which could result in
accidental overdose and death.
OFIRMEV contains acetaminophen. Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in
liver transplant and death. Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed
the recommended maximum daily limits, and often involve more than one acetaminophen-containing product.
