Propacetamol is a non-opioid analgesic devoid of the major contraindications. It is a derivative of acetaminophen, or paracetamol, with the molecular formula glycine, N, N-diethyl-,4-(acetylamino)phenyl ester. Propacetamol is a parenteral formulation of paracetamol and thus, it is a prodrug that is completely hydrolyzed to paracetamol. It is not available in the United States but this prodrug has been widely used in other countries such as France since 1985..
Propacetamol Hydrochloride is a prodrug of acetaminophen, synthesized via acetylation to enhance water solubility for parenteral administration. Its molecular formula is C10H14ClNO4 with CAS No. 6957-10-2.
Strictly monitor hepatic function due to potential toxicity upon hydrolysis. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C away from light to maintain stability.
