datril

A person takes a Datril tablet for a headache.

Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A brand name for acetaminophen: "Datril" is a trademark for a medication containing the active ingredient acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol). It is used to relieve mild pain and reduce fever. It is not effective for reducing inflammation.
Usage Examples
  • Noun:
    • For her headache, she took a dose of Datril.
    • The pharmacist recommended Datril as a fever reducer for the child.
Advanced Usage
  • As a proprietary eponym: While "Datril" is a specific brand, it is sometimes used informally to refer to the generic drug acetaminophen, similar to how "Kleenex" is used for tissues. This usage is more common in contexts where the brand was historically dominant.
    • Do you have any Datril? I have a slight fever. (This implies the speaker is asking for acetaminophen, not necessarily the specific Datril brand.)
Variants and Related Words
  • Acetaminophen (n): The generic name for the drug.
  • Paracetamol (n): The common international name for acetaminophen, used especially in the UK and many other countries.
  • Tylenol, Panadol, Phenaphen, Tempra, Anacin III (n): Other trademarked brand names for medications containing acetaminophen.
Synonyms
  • Analgesic: A substance that relieves pain.
  • Antipyretic: A substance that reduces fever.
  • Pain reliever: A general term for a drug that alleviates pain.
  • Fever reducer: A general term for a drug that lowers body temperature.
Important Notes
  • Not an anti-inflammatory: Unlike drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, acetaminophen (and thus Datril) does not reduce inflammation. It is classified as a non-salicylate analgesic and antipyretic.
  • Common Use: It is widely used for conditions like headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, backaches, toothaches, colds, and fevers.
  • Safety: While safe when used as directed, excessive doses can cause severe liver damage.
