What are benefits of acetaminophen?

Answer 1

Why use analgesic over morphine?In very simple terms, doctors will use as little pain reliever as necessary to make the patient comfortable.

To look further, opiates are addictive and may require either direct withdrawal or a prolonged slow withdrawal designed to avoid the worst effects.

Morphine has several distinct and often troubling side effects that are lacking in a common analgesic**. The usual side effects are constipation, sexual dysfunction, and a lack of energy. These can be mild or severe depending on the individuals tolerance. If short term releif is needed and the pain is severe, morphine may be indicated. Generally, about three weeks of continued use is needed to produce withdrawal symptoms which may be severe and difficult to endure. Commonly, the withdrawal is said to be somewhat like a bad case of the flue and may last up to 10 days.

Asprin is an analgesic but has dangerous and even fatal overdose potential. 4000mg/day being an upper limit.

Morphine--or any of the opiates--when taken in higher than prescribed doses can paralize the diaphragm causing the patient to die of respritory failure... or wind up in the hospital with a mouthful of charcoal and a tube in the stomach.
