What Experts Say

Hospitals across Pakistan commonly use this injection for the first day or two after surgery, when patients need fast pain control but cannot yet take tablets comfortably. Emergency departments in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi also rely on it for acute trauma pain.

The pain relieving component blocks chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain, while the added numbing agent eases the sting of the injection itself and adds a small amount of extra local relief. Relief is usually noticeable within thirty minutes of the injection.

Doctors generally limit use to short courses of a few days because prolonged use of injectable NSAIDs raises the risk of stomach, kidney and heart related side effects. A switch to oral pain relief is usually planned once the patient can tolerate tablets. Patients with existing stomach or kidney concerns are monitored more closely.
