Narrative
07 August 2019
Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

A stepped approach to pain management is recommended. Paracetamol is considered a 1st line option for the treatment of pain. Consider initiation of an oral NSAID as an adjunct to paracetamol if required. See the guidelines attached for further information.

PLEASE NOTE: Oro-dispersible tablets should only be used when a patient has swallowing difficulties.
