Additional Information for Pentazocine And Naloxone Hydorchloride Tablets
Pentazocine and Naloxone Hydrochloride Tablets are a type of medication that falls under the supply class of Drugs and Biologicals in the supply group of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
Pentazocine is an opioid analgesic, which means it is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, thereby reducing the perception of pain.
Naloxone, on the other hand, is an opioid receptor antagonist. It is used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose, particularly respiratory depression. Naloxone works by binding to the same opioid receptors as opioids, but it does not activate them. Instead, it blocks the effects of opioids and can rapidly reverse the respiratory depression caused by opioid overdose.
The combination of Pentazocine and Naloxone Hydrochloride in tablet form is often prescribed for the management of pain in patients who are at risk of opioid abuse or overdose. The addition of Naloxone helps to deter misuse of the medication and provides a safety net in case of accidental overdose.
It is important to note that Pentazocine and Naloxone Hydrochloride Tablets should only be used under the guidance and prescription of a healthcare professional.
