The time of onset of breastfeeding was delayed in newborns whose mothers received analgesia at delivery with butorphanol or nalbuphine compared to those who did not receive analgesia, although in both groups it occurred on average within the first hour after birth. (e-lactancia.org)
Analgesic4
Butorphanol is a morphinan-type synthetic agonist-antagonist opioid analgesic developed by Bristol-Myers. (wikipedia.org)
Because of its κ-agonist activity, at analgesic doses butorphanol increases pulmonary arterial pressure and cardiac work. (wikipedia.org)
Although butorphanol is commonly used for pain relief in reptiles, no studies (as of 2014) have conclusively shown that it is an effective analgesic in reptiles. (wikipedia.org)
Lower VAS scores due to analgesic effects of fentanyl and butorphanol contribute to painless shifting of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. (joas.in)
Intravenous1
The aim of this study was to a comparison of insertion conditions of LMA and postoperative pain scores in shoulder arthroscopies using either intravenous (IV) butorphanol or IV fentanyl in combination with IV propofol. (joas.in)
Narcotic1
Butorphanol is a commonly used narcotic for pain relief in horses. (wikipedia.org)
Cardiopulmonary2
Twenty-three, male captive-bred green iguanas ( Iguana iguana ) weighing 0.51-0.67 kg were anesthetized to determine the effectiveness and the cardiopulmonary effects of butorphanol- sevoflurane and butorphanol-isoflurane. (vin.com)
In conclusion, the cardiopulmonary effects of butorphanol-isoflurane and butorphanol-sevoflurane were similar, however quality and speed of induction and recovery was significantly shorter with sevoflurane when compared to isoflurane. (vin.com)
Mild to moderate pain1
Butorphanol is used for sedation and mild to moderate pain control in dogs and cats. (wikipedia.org)
Codeine1
Injections or pills ( butorphanol ) are often used, but occasionally, a stronger medicine is needed (codeine-related) to break the cough cycle. (petplace.com)
Ketamine3
Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate intranasal oxygen supplementation (IOS) in mules (Equus caballus x Equus asinus) anesthetized with ketamine/butorphanol/guaifenesin combination. (unesp.br)
For this, we used six male, adult mules (322±29kg) which underwent premedication (MPA) with 0.2mg/kg of midazolam intramuscularly after 15 minutes, 0.02mg/kg detomidine IV 5 minutes after, induction IV with combination of ketamine (2mg/mL), butorphanol (22.5mg/mL), and guaifenesin (50mg/mL) (K/B/G) until lateral decumbency. (unesp.br)
Butorphanol is not affected by the expanded ketamine recall. (constantcontact.com)
Agonist-antagonist1
Butorphanol is a synthetic opioid derivative possessing agonist-antagonist activity at opioid µ2-receptors and additional agonist activity at opioid κ-receptors. (journalcra.com)
As with other opioid analgesics, central nervous system effects (such as sedation, confusion, and dizziness) are considerations with butorphanol. (wikipedia.org)
Medications2
Taking certain other medications with butorphanol injection may increase the risk of serious or life-threatening breathing problems. (medlineplus.gov)
Drinking alcohol, taking prescription or nonprescription medications that contain alcohol, or using street drugs during your treatment with butorphanol injection also increases the risk that you will experience these serious, life-threatening side effects. (medlineplus.gov)
Fentanyl3
A total of 100 patients scheduled for various elective surgical procedures were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 50 each, that is, Group F (propofol and fentanyl) and Group B (propofol and butorphanol). (joas.in)
Coinduction was done in Group B with IV butorphanol (30 μg/kg) and in Group F with IV fentanyl (1.5 μg/kg). (joas.in)
The use of propofol-butorphanol combination produces excellent LMA insertion conditions as compared to propofol-fentanyl combination. (joas.in)
Significantly2
mean±SD) were smoother and significantly shorter than with butorphanol-isoflurane (9.0±4.0 min). (vin.com)
Mean recovery time was significantly longer (35.0±27.0 min) in the butorphanol-isoflurane group than in the butorphanol-sevoflurane group (7.0±4.0 min). (vin.com)
Induction1
The induction of anaesthesia with sufentanil/medetomidine and its reversal with a combination of atipamezole and butorphanol is an effective technique for anaesthetizing rats. (ncl.ac.uk)
Pain2
Butorphanol is more effective in reducing pain in women than in men. (wikipedia.org)
While using butorphanol injection, discuss with your health care provider your pain treatment goals, length of treatment, and other ways to manage your pain. (medlineplus.gov)
Baseline heart and respiratory rates were recorded on all animals prior to administration of intramuscular butorphanol (2 mg/kg). (vin.com)
Effective1
Butorphanol is also quite effective at reducing post-operative shivering (owing to its Kappa agonist activity). (wikipedia.org)
Risk1
There is a greater risk that you will overuse butorphanol if you have or have ever had any of these conditions. (medlineplus.gov)
Medicine1
Neither Teva Animal Health, Inc. nor the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine has observed an increasing trend of adverse event reports associated with the use of these butorphanol products that would justify further action beyond the initial precautionary recall in September. (constantcontact.com)
