Phenacetin (CAS: 62-44-2) was used as an analgesic and antipyretic drug in both human and veterinary medicine for many years. It was introduced into therapy in 1887 and was extensively used in analgesic mixtures until it was implicated in kidney disease (nephropathy) due to abuse of analgesics (Flower et al. 1985) and was withdrawn from the U.S. market in 1983 (Ronco and Flahault 1994, FDA 1998, 1999).
The drug was initially used to treat mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. Phenacetin has since been withdrawn from the market due to its potential to cause kidney and liver damage, as well as its potential to cause cancer. Despite its dangers, phenacetin is still used in some countries as an analgesic and antipyretic.

Phenacetin (CAS: 62-44-2) is mainly used as an antipyretic analgesic, with slow and lasting effects, treating headaches, neuralgia, joint pain, and fever, and weakly resisting rheumatism and inflammation. Because of toxic side effects and the rapid development of similar drugs, however, it is no longer used alone, only as a raw material in combination with other drugs. Commonly combined with aspirin and caffeine to form a less toxic compound aspirin used to treat the common cold. Can make chlorpheniramine cold tablets by adding a small amount of chlorpheniramine to the above compound, used to treat colds with headache, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc. Can be used as a material for organic synthesis or a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Phenacetin (CAS: 62-44-2) acts as an analgesic and antipyretic by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are inflammatory mediators that are involved in the sensation of pain and fever. By blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins, phenacetin reduces pain and fever.
