Podcast #406: PO vs. IV Tylenol

Author: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Intravenous Tylenol currently is many times more expensive than oral
  • Single ED study comparing the two has methodology flaws and there is a lack of additional evidence to support intravenous over oral formulations solely for pain control
  • Oral Tylenol appears to be at least equally efficacious, though with a slightly slower onset of action
