Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 300mg/2mL Injection
SKU GME586Product Introduction
Paracetamol injection provides short-term relief of pain and fever when an oral medicine is unsuitable. Concentrated ampoules and multidose vials differ from ready-to-use intravenous infusion products.
How to use
A healthcare professional administers the concentrated injection and calculates the amount from body weight, liver function and paracetamol already received by any route. A 150mg/mL preparation is not used as a ready-to-infuse 10mg/mL solution; preparation and administration differ substantially.
How it works
Paracetamol reduces central prostaglandin-mediated pain signalling and acts on temperature-regulating centres to lower fever.
Side effects
Injection-site pain, nausea, vomiting or rash may occur. Overdose can cause severe liver injury even before symptoms become obvious.
Important information
Tell the treating team about liver disease, low body weight, malnutrition or regular heavy alcohol use. Include cold remedies and combination painkillers when calculating total exposure.
Uses
- Short-term pain relief and fever reduction when parenteral treatment is appropriate
Benefits
Provides an alternative route for symptom control when swallowing or oral absorption is a problem.
Can I also take a paracetamol tablet?
Only if the treating team includes it in the total dose; oral and injectable amounts add together.
Is a 150mg/mL ampoule the same as a 10mg/mL infusion?
No. Concentration, route and preparation instructions differ substantially.
Can it treat the cause of a fever?
It lowers temperature but does not eliminate an infection or other underlying cause.
What if too much may have been given?
Seek emergency assessment immediately; early liver injury may occur without obvious symptoms.
Does a larger dose lower fever faster?
Exceeding the intended amount increases toxicity rather than providing safe additional benefit.
Can children receive an adult ampoule volume?
No. Paediatric treatment requires a calculated weight-based dose and the correct concentration.
Is fasting or poor nutrition relevant?
Yes. Malnutrition can reduce the body's ability to handle paracetamol safely.
When should injectable treatment be reviewed?
Once oral treatment becomes suitable, the clinical team may switch routes and recalculate the schedule.
