ABSTRACT
SUMMARY The need to safely treat the postoperative pain of patients is apparent. Opioids, although effective, have multiple morbidities associated with their use. A multimodal approach to postoperative pain management can serve to minimize the undesirable effects of opioids. Intravenous acetaminophen (paracetamol) has recently become available in the USA where many practitioners are not familiar with this drug. This article reviews the history, pharmacology and clinical uses of intravenous acetaminophen in the treatment of perioperative pain.
