Class Summary

Pain control is essential to quality patient care. These medications ensure patient comfort and have sedating properties, which are beneficial in the treatment of pain.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, FeverAll, APAP500, Mapap)

 

Acetaminophen is the drug of choice for pain in patients with documented hypersensitivity to aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; those with upper GI disease; or those who are taking oral anticoagulants.

Meperidine (Demerol)

 

Meperidine is an analgesic with multiple actions that are similar to those of morphine. Compared with similar analgesic doses of morphine, meperidine may produce less constipation, less smooth muscle spasm, and less depression of cough reflex.
