Warfarin is an anticoagulant drug that does not affect the metabolism of acetaminophen. However, acetaminophen can increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin by inhibiting its metabolism, which can increase the risk of bleeding.

Furosemide is a diuretic drug that does not interact with acetaminophen. However, furosemide can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can affect liver function and increase the susceptibility to acetaminophen-induced liver injury.

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that does not affect the metabolism of acetaminophen. However, ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal irritation and renal impairment, which can also increase the risk of acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Additionally, taking both acetaminophen and ibuprofen can increase the risk of overdose and toxicity.

Drinking plenty of fluids does not prevent kidney damage from acetaminophen overdose. In fact, dehydration can worsen the toxicity of acetaminophen.

Acetaminophen does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur with drugs that lower blood sugar, such as insulin or sulfonylureas.

Acetaminophen does not cause dry mouth or sore throat. These are not signs of acetaminophen overdose and do not require medical attention.

Acetaminophen does not inhibit the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. COX-2 inhibitors are a different class of drugs that can reduce both pain and inflammation.

Acetaminophen does not decrease the production of leukotrienes, which are another type of inflammatory mediator. Leukotriene inhibitors are used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Acetaminophen does not reduce the activity of natural killer cells, which are part of the immune system and can destroy infected or abnormal cells.
Natural killer cells are not directly related to pain or inflammation.

Oral tablets are not suitable for children who may have difficulty swallowing pills. Crushing the tablets may alter the drug’s effectiveness or cause adverse effects.

Rectal suppositories are not the preferred route of administration for acetaminophen in children. Rectal suppositories may cause irritation, leakage, or expulsion of the drug. They also have a slower onset of action and variable absorption than oral liquid.

Intravenous injection is not an over-the-counter form of acetaminophen. Intravenous injection is a prescription form that is used for severe pain or fever in hospitalized patients. It also requires special equipment and monitoring that are not available at home.
