Abstract

Post-caesarean section pain is a problem i n our environment. Though many modalities for pain management exist, there is the need to investigate safer and affordable regimens that will provide adequate analgesia with minimal side effects and with ease of administration. Alternating doses of intramuscular acetaminophen and intramuscular pentazocine was studied as an alternative to provide safe and effective post-caesarean section analgesia. Its effectiveness and side effect profile in our environment have not been previously investigated.
