SummarySynopsis: Pentazocine2, the N-allyl derivative of the narcotic analgesic phenazocine, is a strong analgesic with weak narcotic antagonist activity. It is advocated for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Pentazocine has a low abuse potential and is not controlled by narcotic regulations. Therapeutic trials comparing pentazocine with other strong analgesics have shown it to possess a strong analgesic effect when given intramuscularly and a lesser analgesic effect when administered…

Buprenorphine: A Review of its Pharmacological Properties and Therapeutic Efficacy
- Medicine, BiologyDrugs
- 2012
Buprenorphine appears to produce side effects which are similar to those seen with other morphine- like compounds, including respiratory depression, and animal studies and a direct addiction study in a few volunteers suggest that the dependence liability of buprenorphines may be lower than that of other older morphine-like drugs.
EVALUATION OF ANTINOCICEPITVE ACTION OF PENTAZOCINE IN COMPARISION WITH MORPHINE IN ALBINO RATS
- Biology, Medicine
- 2014
Pentazocine in the doses of 6mg/kg, 12 mg/kg and their combination in low doses and their effect with analgesic dose of morphine by tail flick method by hot water bath demonstrated significant antinociceptive activity in albino rats.
Role of butorphanol in preemptive analgesia: A comparison with pentazocine
- Medicine
- 2019
Butorphanol a mixed agonist-antagonist opioid in the dose of 2 mg IM is an acceptable alternative to pentazocine as a pre-emptive analgesic due to longer duration of analgesia and greater analgesic efficacy with low incidence of side effects.

Pentazocine

Pentazocine is claimed to possess morphine-like analgesic properties, a low risk of inducing dependence and freedom from the unwanted effects of nalorphine, and cannot be used clinically because it causes unpleasant mood changes and hallucinations.
AGONIST-ANTAGONISTS AND THEIR RECEPTORS

It is shown that administration of nalorphine to morphine dependent subjects not only failed to produce euphoria, but precipitated withdrawal, and Lasagna and Beecher17 discovered serendipitously that n alorphine was equipotent as an analgesic with morphine.

This compound did not induce sedation, a common dose limiting effect of κ opioid receptor agonists, at its analgesic dose compared to U50,488H, and was assumed to be correlated with the occupation of its benzamide motif in a unique subsite involving V1182.63, W124EL1 and E209EL2.

The most generally useful agent at present seems to be buprenorphine which can be used to provide effective, long lasting analgesia in a wide range of species.

Compared two opioid-benzodiazepine sedative techniques for middle ear surgery under local anaesthesia gave satisfactory results in terms of sedation, analgesic efficacy, respiratory and spo2 changes with minimal discomforts and nalbuphine being superior in termsof post operative analgesic duration.

Although many clinicians consider that simple analgesics have little part to play in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthropathies, the patient often takes them without the physician’s knowledge, in addition to the prescribed treatment.
