| Pethidine |
Pethidine is a synthetic opioid analgesic similar with similar actions to morphine. Like other opioids, pethidine binds to opioid receptors and exerts its principal pharmacological actions on the central nervous system where its analgesic and sedative effects are of particular therapeutic value. Pethidine also causes the release of histamine from mast cells resulting in a number of allergic-type reactions. |
