Paracetamol Infusion

CAS NO: 103-90-2

Paracetamol is about as effective as aspirin at relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever, but unlike aspirin it has no anti-inflammatory effect.
Paracetamol infusion is given in hospital. (An infusion is a drip into a vein.) Paracetamol may be given in this way either because a patient is unable to take medicines by mouth, or because a rapid effect is needed. This infusion may be given for the short-term relief of moderate pain, particularly following surgery. It may also be used for reducing fever in the short-term.
