Podcast #447: IV Tylenol

Author: Dylan Luyten, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Recent randomized controlled trial compared intravenous to oral acetaminophen in emergency department patients
  • There was no difference in pain relief between the groups
  • While the actual acquisition cost of these drugs are not significant, the cost multipliers that are passed onto patients lead to real dollars
  • With the significant cost of IV acetaminophen, it may not be the best choice given the lack of superiority to other formulations
