Nalbuphine is a phenanthrene derivative opioid analgesic with mixed opioid agonist and antagonist activity. It inhibits the ascending pain pathways, altering the perception of and response to pain by binding to opiate receptors in the CNS. It also produces generalised CNS depression.
May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Emotionally unstable patients or patients with history of opiate abuse; closely monitor these patients during long-term therapy. Impaired respiration due to other drugs, uraemia, bronchial asthma, severe infection, cyanosis, respiratory obstruction. MI patients who exhibit nausea and vomiting and in those about to undergo biliary tract surgery. Head injury, intracranial lesions or pre-existing increased intracranial pressure.
