Pentafen Injection

Pentafen Injection is an injection made by Tread Pharma that contains Pentazocine, an opioid painkiller. It is used for moderate to severe pain. Pack size: 5 amp x 1ml injection.

Uses of Pentafen Injection

Pentafen Injection is a prescription opioid painkiller used for moderate to severe pain, such as pain after surgery or injury. In clinics and hospitals it is most often given by injection, and it may also be used before or during some procedures. Because it can cause dependence and unpleasant mental effects, it is used for short periods under medical supervision.

How Pentafen Injection works

Pentazocine acts on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing how strongly pain signals are felt. It activates some opioid receptors and partly blocks others, so its pain-relieving effect has a ceiling, and it can trigger withdrawal in people who are dependent on other opioids.

Possible side effects

Pentafen Injection commonly causes some of the following:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Drowsiness
• Sweating
• Headache

Get urgent help for slow or shallow breathing, severe drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations or a fit.

Precautions and warnings

• Pentazocine is a controlled medicine that can cause dependence; use it only as prescribed and do not stop suddenly after regular use.
• Do not drink alcohol or take sleeping pills, sedatives or other opioids with it, as this increases the risk of dangerous breathing problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, a head injury, heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, or a history of drug dependence.
• Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
• It is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor decides it is necessary.
