About Butodol Injection 1 ml

Butodol Injection 1 ml belongs to the class of 'narcotic analgesics' primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain post-surgery, muscle pain, and migraine-related headaches. Butodol Injection 1 ml is also used as an anaesthesia adjunct during surgery and early labor. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. 

Butodol Injection 1 ml contains 'Butorphanol' which works by blocking the transmission of pain signals located in the brain that controls pain, pleasure, and addictive behaviors. Butorphanol also acts as a pre-anaesthetic during surgery, antitussive (cough suppressant), and antiemetic (prevents vomiting) medication.

Use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain and response to treatment. Common side effects of Butodol Injection 1 ml include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, vomiting, nausea, and constipation. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Butodol Injection 1 ml causes dizziness and drowsiness, so do not drive or operate machinery until you are mentally alert. Avoid alcohol to further prevent the worsening of side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: It is not a disease but a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). Pain can be considered a good thing as it helps us know that something is wrong in the body and thereby helps diagnose the condition. The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, arthritis and stomach ache.
