The IV medications will be administered over a 15-minute period. The safety of infusion of IVIbuprofen in just 10 minutes has been established, and to infuse over 15 minutes to ensure that IV Paracetamol and IV Ibuprofen have equal infusion times. For IV paracetamol-Ibuprofen, the IV paracetamol-Ibuprofen will be administered as a sequential infusion of IV Ibuprofen over 15 minutes, followed by a flush of the IV line, followed immediately by IV paracetamol infusion over 15 minutes.
