Injectable analgesics are preferred in the pre-operative setting because they have a fast and reliable onset of action, and can be administered before, during, and after surgery regardless of a patient's ability to swallow. For example, narcotics such as morphine frequently cause sedation, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression.
