Intravenous Acetaminophen

Intravenous acetaminophen is a medication administered directly into a vein to quickly relieve pain and reduce fever. It is often used when oral medication isn't possible or effective, providing fast absorption into the bloodstream. Commonly used in hospitals after surgery or for severe pain, it works centrally in the brain to lower discomfort and fever. It is generally safe when used properly, but excessive doses can harm the liver. Healthcare providers monitor its use to ensure it provides effective relief while minimizing risks.
