Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is the giving of substances directly into a vein.

Pharmacotherapeutic group of Paracetamol is Analgesic and Antipyretic.

In acute situations, in emergency medicine and intensive care medicine, when immediate

effect is desired or when large volumes need to be administerd e.g quick management of pain; Paracetamol is often given intravenously because onset of action is fast about 3-5 minutes when it is given intravenously. Also it gives 100% bioavailability in blood stream. This is the most reliable route, as in acutely ill patients the absorption of substances from the tissues and from the digestive tract can often be unpredictable due to altered blood flow or bowel motility.
