Nefopam HCL Injection

Nefopam is most commonly used to treat pain after surgery, dental pain, muscular pain, and pain associated with cancer.

Nefopam Hydrochloride Injection is a centrally acting, non-opioid painkiller primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain. Let’s explore more about it:

  • Mechanism of Action:

    • Nefopam acts in the brain and spinal cord to relieve pain via novel mechanisms:
      • Antinociceptive Effects: It inhibits the reuptake of three monoamines (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine), which contributes to its pain-relieving properties.
      • Antihyperalgesic Effects: It helps reduce heightened sensitivity to pain (hyperalgesia).
  • Uses:

    • Pain Relief: Nefopam is effective in managing pain.
    • It is a non-opioid alternative, making it suitable for patients who cannot tolerate opioids or need an alternative approach.
  • Common Side Effects:

    • Nausea
    • Dryness in mouth
    • Vertigo
    • Abdominal pain
    • Diarrhea
    • Sleepiness
    • Sweating
    • Injection site pain
    • Palpitations
    • Urinary retention

Remember, always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. 😊🌟
