What is Feverall?

Feverall is given as a suppository to treat many conditions such as headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers.

Feverall may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Important Information

Do not use more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Call your doctor at once if you have nausea, pain in your upper stomach, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes).

In rare cases, Feverall may cause a severe skin reaction. Stop using Feverall and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.

Before taking this medicine

How should I use Feverall?

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Do not use more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.

If you are treating a child, use a pediatric form of acetaminophen. Carefully follow the dosing directions on the medicine label. Do not give the medication to a child younger than 2 years old without the advice of a doctor.

Do not take a rectal suppository by mouth. It is for use only in your rectum.

Wash your hands before and after inserting the rectal suppository.

Try to empty your bowel and bladder just before using the Feverall suppository.

Remove the wrapper before inserting the suppository. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.

Lie on your back with your knees up toward your chest. Gently insert the suppository into your rectum about 1 inch, pointed tip first.

For best results, stay lying down for a few minutes. The suppository will melt quickly and you should feel little or no discomfort while holding it in. Avoid using the bathroom for at least an hour after using the suppository.

Stop using Feverall and call your doctor if:

  • you still have a fever after 3 days of use;

  • you still have pain after 10 days of use (or 5 days if treating a child);

  • you have a sore throat, high fever, or nausea and vomiting;

  • you have a skin rash, ongoing headache, or any redness or swelling; or

  • if your symptoms get worse, or if you have any new symptoms.

Feverall can cause unusual results with certain lab tests for glucose (sugar) in the urine. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using this medicine.

The rectal suppositories may also be stored in the refrigerator. Do not allow the medicine to freeze.

Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since Feverall is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call 115. An overdose of acetaminophen can be fatal.

The first signs of an Feverall overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.

What should I avoid while using Feverall?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Feverall (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines.

Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while using Feverall.
