Description

Meperidine 25mg/mL is an opioid analgesic used for the management of moderate to severe pain. This medication is administered via injection, providing rapid onset of action for patients requiring pain relief in clinical settings. Meperidine acts by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system, primarily the mu-receptors, which are responsible for the drug’s analgesic effects.

As an opioid, Meperidine has the potential for dependence, abuse, and misuse, making its use highly controlled. It is indicated for short-term pain management and should be used under strict medical supervision to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Common side effects include sedation, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression, which are typical of opioid medications.

Meperidine should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its efficacy. The single-dose vial packaging ensures that the medication is ready for use without contamination, reducing the risk of infection during administration.
