How safe is butorphanol pharmacologically?Does anybody use this in the EM?
How does it compare with Tramadol,Pethidine,Morphine?
We have used Butorphanol(Inj.Butrum available as 1mg and 2 mg IV) sparingly in patients with colicky pain of urinary tract origin with excellent results but the almost instantaneous vomitting was what discouraged me from sticking to it zealously.
