A member asked:
If paracetamol cannot be administered orally or iv then is it feasible to administer it im or s/c? if it it then is there any problem in doing so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not advisable.: In the US, the equivalent of paracetamol is Tylenol (acetaminophen) which is administered orally, IV and rectally as a suppository. These are the advisable methods of administration since it is mainly absorbed through the gut.
