Contraindication Notes:
Known hypersensitivity to Nalbuphine Hydrochloride.
Nalbuphine Hydrochloride is a synthetic potent analgesic. Its analgesic potency is essentially equivalent to that of morphine on a milligram basis. Receptor studies show that Nalbuphine binds to mu, kappa, and delta receptors, but not to sigma receptors. Nalbuphine is primarily a kappa agonist/partial mu antagonist analgesic.
No hazardous interactions have been identified with Nalbuphine; however, interactions described with other opioids may be anticipated. Patient receiving a narcotic analgesic, general anesthesia, phenothiazines or other tranquilizers, sedatives, hypnotics, or other CNS depressants (including alcohol) concomitantly with Nalbuphine may exhibit an additive effect.
Generally Nalbuphine is well tolerated. However few side-effects like sedation, sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vertigo, dry mouth, headache, respiratory depression, dyspnea and asthma may be seen.
Sleepiness & mild dyspnea may occur due to overdose. The immediate intravenous administration of an opiate antagonist such as Naloxone or Nalmefene is a specific antidote. Oxygen, intravenous fluids, vasopressors and other supportive measures should be used as indicated
Pregnancy category B. The placental transfer of Nalbuphine is high and rapid. There are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. This drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Limited data suggest that Nalbuphine is excreted in maternal milk but only in a small amount (less than 1% of the administered dose) and with a clinically insignificant effect. Caution should be exercised when Nalbuphine is administered to a nursing woman.
Caution should be taken in the following conditions: impaired respiration, impaired renal or hepatic function, billiary tract surgery, myocardial infarction and hypotension.
