Butorphanol tartrate (stadol): a review.

J Vogelsang, S R Hayes

    Journal of Post Anesthesia Nursing
    |April 1, 1991
    PubMed
    Summary

    Butorphanol tartrate offers an advantage over traditional opiates for moderate pain relief due to its mixed agonist-antagonist activity. This analgesic can limit side effects and reduce dependency risk, making it a versatile option in various clinical settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Butorphanol tartrate is an analgesic with mixed agonist-antagonist activity at opiate receptors.
    • Its receptor specificity theoretically limits respiratory depression, gastrointestinal side effects, and dependency risk compared to traditional opiates.
    • Traditional opiates like morphine and meperidine are commonly used for moderate pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the therapeutic applications and advantages of butorphanol tartrate.
    • To highlight its utility in managing moderate pain and its favorable side effect profile.
    • To discuss its use in various medical scenarios, including preoperative sedation, anesthesia, obstetric analgesia, and conscious sedation.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of butorphanol tartrate's pharmacological properties and clinical applications.
    • Analysis of its efficacy and safety profile in comparison to traditional opioid analgesics.
    • Examination of its use in diverse patient populations and medical settings.

    Main Results:

    • Butorphanol tartrate demonstrates efficacy in treating moderate pain, offering an advantage over traditional opiates.
    • Its mixed agonist-antagonist activity contributes to a reduced risk of respiratory depression, gastrointestinal issues, and dependency.
    • Clinical applications include preoperative sedation, anesthesia supplementation, postanesthesia care, obstetric analgesia, postpartum pain relief, and conscious sedation.
    • Notably, its lack of euphoric effects is beneficial in emergency medicine for at-risk populations.
    • It is also used for epidural and patient-controlled analgesia, especially in cases of opiate allergy.
    • As a non-controlled substance, butorphanol tartrate reduces administrative burdens and liability associated with controlled narcotics.

    Conclusions:

    • Butorphanol tartrate is a valuable analgesic for moderate pain, offering a favorable safety and side effect profile.
    • Its unique pharmacological properties and non-controlled status enhance its clinical utility and reduce administrative concerns.
    • Butorphanol tartrate presents a versatile and advantageous alternative to traditional opioid analgesics in a wide range of medical applications.
