Evidence suggests that the use of regular acetaminophen (paracetamol) in long-term care (LTC) is a low-value intervention, that it does not improve pain or quality of life, and that it has the potential for adverse effects. Our objective was to assess the usage of regular acetaminophen in Canadian LTC facilities as well as the costs associated with its use.
