Abstract: Background: To compare the effects of pre-emptive and intraoperative intravenous paracetamol on post operative analgesia in laparoscopic sterilisation. Methods: 62 patients who underwent laparoscopic sterilisation were divided into two groups. One group received pre-emptive intravenous paracetamol and another group received intraoperative intravenous paracetamol. Results: There is no significant difference in analgesia between both the groups. Conclusion: Intravenous paracetamol can be administered preoperatively or intraoperatively during laparoscopic sterilisation for analgesia.
