Abstract:
Pethidine is a valuable drug in general practice. It is useful in the acute pain of trauma and renal or biliary colic. It should be used by intramuscular injection, not orally. It should not be used for chronic pain, malignancy, head injury, heart failure, undiagnosed acute abdominal pain and if opiate addiction is suspected.
