Dinalbuphine sebacate

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Dinalbuphine sebacate is a narcotic analgesic that is used in the treatment of pain. It is a derivative of buprenorphine, which is a semi-synthetic opioid. Dinalbuphine sebacate is a long-acting formulation, which means it can provide pain relief for a longer period of time compared to other analgesics.

Etymology

The term "Dinalbuphine sebacate" is derived from its parent drug, buprenorphine. The prefix "Di-" indicates that two molecules of buprenorphine are involved, while "sebacate" refers to the sebacic acid used in the formulation.

Pharmacology

Dinalbuphine sebacate works by binding to the mu-opioid receptor in the brain, which is responsible for the perception of pain. By binding to this receptor, it can effectively block the transmission of pain signals, providing relief to the patient.

Clinical Use

Dinalbuphine sebacate is used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is particularly useful in cases where the pain is chronic and requires long-term management. Due to its long-acting formulation, it can provide consistent pain relief over a longer period of time, reducing the need for frequent dosing.

Side Effects

Like all opioids, dinalbuphine sebacate can cause a range of side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and drowsiness. In some cases, it can also cause respiratory depression, which is a serious condition where breathing becomes dangerously slow.
