A mixed opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic used for moderate-to-severe pain, including migraine headaches and labor pain. It activates kappa opioid receptors while acting as a partial antagonist at mu receptors, providing pain relief with a lower risk of physical dependence than pure mu agonists. It is available as a nasal spray and injectable solution.

Mecanismo de Ação

Binds to mu (μ), kappa (κ), and/or delta (δ) opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system, mimicking endogenous endorphins. Activation of these G-protein-coupled receptors inhibits pain signal transmission and modulates the emotional response to pain.
