Uses

Butorphanol is used for the management of moderate to severe pain.

How it Works

How Butorphanol works Butorphanol is an opioid analgesic, or pain reliever. It functions by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing pain perception.

Side Effects

Expert Advice

  • Use Butorphanol as directed by your doctor.
  • Never take in greater amounts or more frequently than prescribed.
  • It may cause sleepiness or drowsiness; if this occurs, do not drive or operate machinery.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Butorphanol, as it may lead to excessive sleepiness or drowsiness.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems.
  • Store opioid pain relievers in a secure location, out of reach of others.
