Phenacetin CAS 62-44-2 Application/Use

Phenacetin is mainly used as an antipyretic and analgesic with slow and long-lasting effects. It can treat headaches, neuralgia, joint pain, and fever. It has weak resistance to rheumatism and inflammation.

However, due to the serious side effects and the rapid development of similar drugs, it is no longer used alone and is only used as a raw material in combination with other drugs. It is often combined with aspirin and caffeine to form the less toxic compound aspirin, which is used to treat the common cold. Adding a small amount of chlorpheniramine to the above compounds can make chlorpheniramine tablets, which are used to treat cold headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc. It can be used as raw materials for organic synthesis or pharmaceutical intermediates.
