Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Nefopam is a potent, centrally-acting, non-opioid analgesic with anticholinergic and sympathomimetic actions. Its exact mechanism is unclear; however, in vitro studies suggest that it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine. Onset: Rapid. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: 40% (oral). Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 1-3 hours (oral); 0.5-1 hour (IM). Distribution: Enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: Approx 73%. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver to form desmethylnefopam, nefopam N-oxide, and N-glucuronide. Excretion: Mainly via urine (87%, <5% as unchanged drug); faeces (approx 8%). Elimination half-life: Approx 4 hours.
