How it works

Nalbuphine Hydrochloride is an agonist at kappa (k) opioid receptors and an antagonist at mu (µ) receptors. It is without significant effects on delta opioid receptors. It produces typical opioid effects in the central nervous system, such as analgesia and depression of respiration but may also act as an opioid antagonist.

Nalbuphine Hydrochloride is only available for parenteral use. The usual recommended dose is 10-20 mg for a 70 kg individual by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection, repeated every 3-6 hours as necessary.
