About BUTODOL 2MG INJECTION

BUTODOL 2MG INJECTION belongs to the class of 'narcotic analgesics' primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain post-surgery, muscle pain, and migraine-related headaches. BUTODOL 2MG INJECTION 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 2MG INJECTION contains 'Butorphanol' which works by blocking the transmission of pain signals located in the brain that controls pain, pleasure, and addictive behaviors.

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.
