Overview
At the cellular level, the mechanism of action of Butorphanol is associated with blocking the release of potassium and calcium ions, which leads to a prolongation of the state of hyperpolarization of the cell, thereby interrupting the transmission of an electrical impulse between neighboring nerve cells. The third way to realize the analgesic effect is achieved by stopping the reuptake of neurotransmitter hormones - dopamine and norepinephrine.
Butorphanol refers to high-speed drugs that can remove pain, as well as provide anesthesia.
The drug fully reaches the systemic circulation 10 minutes after prescription administration and 15-20 minutes after ingestion through the nasal mucosa. Up to 80% of the drug binds to blood proteins, mainly with albumin.
Due to the small size of the molecule of the main substance, butorphanol quietly penetrates the body’s barrier systems - transplacental and blood-brain. The metabolism of the active substance occurs in hepatocytes and other structures of the hepatobiliary system. In the form of metabolites, the drug is excreted by the kidneys. In unchanged form, no more than 5% of the substance is excreted. It is also possible to withdraw the drug during lactation through mother's milk.
The maximum effect occurs 30 minutes after parenteral administration and can persist up to 3-4 hours. The prolongation of the effect is observed in Butordyne with impaired renal function, as well as in persons older than 75 years.

With intravenous administration, the starting dose is 1 mg. Depending on the strength of the pain syndrome, the dose range is from 0.5 to 2 mg every 4 hours.
Drug interaction
Butorphanol should not be prescribed simultaneously with drugs that affect the central nervous system, for example, tranquilizers, antihistamines, ethanol and alcohol derivatives, barbiturates. In case of their interaction, the development of severe neurological disorders is possible, up to a fatal outcome.
Butorphanol with monoamine oxygenase inhibitors is used with caution, as this can lead to a sharp increase in arterial and intracranial pressure, up to the development of hyperpyrexic coma.
The use of the drug against the background of alcohol intoxication is contraindicated due to the increase in neurological symptoms, this can lead to respiratory failure.
Adverse Reactions and Overdose
