Phenacetin is an analgesic and antipyretic drug that was once widely used for the treatment of pain and fever. It was often combined with other analgesics in various formulations. Due to safety concerns, particularly nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity, phenacetin has been withdrawn from clinical use in most countries, and is not currently approved for use in modern medicine.
