Dinalbuphine
Dinalbuphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic that is used in the treatment of pain. It is a derivative of buprenorphine, which is a powerful opioid analgesic. Dinalbuphine is not currently approved for use in the United States, but it is available in some other countries.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Dinalbuphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor, which is the primary site of action for most opioid analgesics. It also has some activity at the kappa-opioid receptor. Like other opioids, it produces analgesia by binding to and activating these receptors in the central nervous system.
Clinical Use[edit | edit source]
Dinalbuphine is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It can be administered by intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, or subcutaneous injection. The duration of analgesia is typically 3 to 6 hours.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Common side effects of dinalbuphine include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and drowsiness. Like other opioids, it can also cause respiratory depression, which can be life-threatening if not properly managed.
