1-Paracetamol ( PCT), acetaminophen or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is an acylated aromatic amide derived from aniline [1] [s073][so96089] .It has antipyretic and analgesic properties and it is a synthetic non-opioid.[3] In 1893, acetaminophen was first described as an analgesic and antypiretic.. [s17] In 1866, acetanilide, another derived from aniline, was discovered to have antipyretic properties and has started to be used to treat fever. However, it was proved to have toxicity. Thus, others derivatives from aniline such as paracetamol and phenacetin were assumed to be toxic as well. In 1887 phenacetin was discovered to have serious side effects including methaemoglobin formation and haemolytic anaemia. In 1893, acetaminophen was first described to be an analgesic and antypiretic [s17] and in 1948 paracetamol was found to be phenacetin’s and acetanilide’s metabolite which was responsible for the antipyretic and analgesic properties of these two compounds.

2- Paracetamol is commonly used for acute musculoskeletal pains, acute headache, and fever[3][s03]. IV Acetaminophen can also be used with an opioid to improve overall analgesia in patients with postoperative pain. In addition, paracetamol can have an anti-emetic effect in postoperative nausea, if administered before, during or immediately after surgery. Orthopedic postoperative pain management can be treated with parenteral proparacetamol which is an inactive pro-drug of acetaminophen.[3]

It’s still not precise how paracetamol acts in the human body. It has been shown to have multiple actions mainly in the CNS. [2][3]Acetaminophen may inhibit the peroxidase sites of PGHS [2]and inhibit the peroxidase regeneration leading to an anti-inflammatory effect.[3] Rec...

Most people know Aspirin as a pill to take when they have a headache or some other ailment. There’s much more to Aspirin than most people know about. This report will explain the chemical properties of Aspirin as well as what the uses are, the history of the chemical, and the discovery of the molecule.
The range of medications from anti-inflammatory to opioids is extreme, and have different effects on the human body. Medical professionals have to make the decision whether to give a patient a lower grade pain management drug or a higher grade drug, and they are the ones who have to determine how much pain the patient truly is in when most of a patient 's pain in unseen to the physical eye. “Pain as a presenting complaint accounts for up to 70% of emergency department visits, making it the most common reason to seek health care. Often, it is the only reason patients seek care,” and with this knowledge health care professional need to treat each patient equally in the sense that they are the emergency room or a physician 's office for a reason, and that reason is to relieve the pain they are in (American College of Emergency Physicians Online). The article from the American College of Emergency Physicians continues on to say that, “it is the duty of health care providers to relieve pain and suffering. Therefore, all physicians must overcome their personal barriers to proper analgesic administration,” this is in regards to medical professional who are bias toward specific patients, such as “frequent flyers” or even patients of certain class standing; no matter what their patient may look like or be like they must be treated equally and

Aspirin contains the substance acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which can relieve inflammation, fever, pain, and known as a “blood thinner”. Aspirin was not officially trademarked until March 6, 1899 when the Imperial Office of Berlin made it official. It has been used for the last 110 years, but its natural form, salicylic acid has been around for thousands by Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Aspirin is available in over 80 countries and known as the best non-prescription drug. The most common use of aspirin is to cure headaches and use it as a pain reliever, but aspirin is known to prevent heart attack and strokes. It was first proposed in 1940, but wasn’t confirmed until 1970 when doctors would recommend taking aspirin daily [1].

In the late 1800’s it was discovered that papa-amino-phenol, could reduce fever, but the drug was too toxic to use. A less toxic extract called phenacetin was later found to be just as effective but also had pain-relieving properties. In 1949, it was learned that phenacetin was metabolized into an active but also less toxic drug, acetaminophen. Since then, acetaminophen has been sold under many over the counter brand names, most popular being Tylenol.
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): “Decreased effectiveness of diuretic (Furosemide) because acetaminophen may decrease renal prostaglandin excretion and decrease plasma renin activity”(Woo & Wynne, 2011, p. 891).

Hospitals may use them for pain management for trauma-related injuries, cancer or post-surgery, and The Premier Safety Institute states that chronic pain is relieved using opioids on a short-term basis.

Analysis of Aspirin Tablets Aim --- To discover the percentage of acetylsalicylic acid in a sample of aspirin tablets. ----------------------------------------------------------------- In order to do this, the amount of moles that react with the sodium hydroxide must be known. This is achieved by using the method of back titration.
·Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) is an alternative to aspirin. It is also an anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, and anti-platelet. Acetaminophen is much less likely to cause intestinal side affects than aspirin, however overdose of this drug can cause serious liver poisoning. The molecular formula for acetaminophen is C8H9NO2. Some examples of Acetaminophen are Tylenol, Midol, and Panadol.
Pharmacology is a vital component in the perioperative practice. Medication use is monitored closely during the perioperative period. Preoperatively, there are certain drugs that must be discontinued prior to a surgery as they increase surgical risk, including anticoagulants, tranquillisers, corticosteroids and diuretics (Laws, 2010b). In fact, these drugs can increase the risk of respiratory depression, infection, fluid and electrolyte imbalance and increased risk of bleeding (Hamlin, 2010). Open communication is important in obtaining a medication history, and in identifying the drugs taken prior to the surgery. If any of these medications has be...
