A Randomized, 2-Way, Parallel, Single-Blind Pharmacokinetic Study to Evaluate the Interaction Between Intravenous Morphine and Orally or Intravenously Administered Acetaminophen in Healthy Subjects
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Oral Acetaminophen, IV Acetaminophen, and 3 other interventions for Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Morphine is the opioid used to treat pain after surgery. Acetaminophen (called APAP) can reduce the amount of opioids needed for this. The problem is that morphine slows down digestion. That can delay pain relief from APAP pills. It can even change what the body does to the drug \[pharmacokinetics (PK)\]. Some doctors have started using intravenous (IV) APAP with morphine, instead of the pills. This study will measure the PK of APAP pills and IV when used with morphine in healthy volunteers. IV APAP will likely be more effective and cause fewer side effects when used with morphine to treat pain after surgery.
