The adminis a ion o analgesic-an ipy e ic (ANAP)

No ably, ace aminophen has been shown o ha e e -

shown o induce hype glycemia [10], whe eas low and
ch onic doses can lowe blood glucose in animal models
[11–13]. Possible e ec s on as hma isk ha e also been

The widesp ead use o ace aminophen among young

[11, 12, 32, 33]. The da a on childhood as hma is
con lic ing, wi h some s udies showing an inc eased

p ophylac ic ace aminophen in conjunc ion wi h

on an ibody esponses [1, 7, 35]. In his s udy, we
ound a signi ican bu weak inc eased haza d a io

Howe e , his e ec was no seen wi h isle au o-
