During a total abdominal hysterectomy, common medications include general anesthetics for sedation and pain management, such as propofol or sevoflurane. Opioids like morphine or fentanyl may be administered for postoperative pain relief, often supplemented by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. Additionally, prophylactic antibiotics may be given to prevent infection. Antiemetics may also be used to manage nausea associated with anesthesia.
