This institutional pack contains 500 ampoules, making it ideal for bulk procurement by healthcare facilities.

Uses of Pentazocine Injection

Pentazocine is effective for:

• Managing severe pain after surgery (post-operative pain).
• Relieving pain during labor (obstetrics).
• Relief of pain from serious injuries or fractures.
• Use as a supplement to anesthesia.

How Pentazocine Works

As a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist, Pentazocine works by blocking pain signals in the central nervous system. It provides "sharp relief" for acute pain. Because it is a potent medicine, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in Nigeria and must be administered by a qualified professional.

Dosage and Administration

The standard dose is usually 30mg (1ml) given via intramuscular (IM), intravenous (IV), or subcutaneous (SC) injection. The frequency of dosage depends on the severity of the pain and the patient's medical history. Always follow the prescription provided by a doctor.

Precautions and Safety

• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, or feeling lightheaded.
• Controlled Substance: This medicine has a risk of dependency and must be handled with strict record-keeping.
