1. Morphine!
Morphine causes localised histamine release in some people - an itchy red line
can appear along the vein its injected into. Its not an allergy. !
2. IV paracetamol !

a lot cheaper! !
JRCALC states 1g as the dose for all adults, but in-hospital, prescribers are
reminded to reduce to 750mg the dose administered to patients under 50kg:
so if youve given the full 1g to a very frail tiny person, be sure to specify this
on handover.
