acetaminophen degradation

(1/1)

grayscourt:
How long does it take for acetaminophen to degrade to a point where it loses its efficacy when stored at room temp. and are the degradition products toxic?

Mitch:
Everything is toxic at a high enough concentration.  ;)


Acetaminophen is a simple enough looking organic molecule, I doubt it looses its efficacy over a long period of time. Just don't store it in warm environments.
