CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
TALACEN is an analgesic possessing antipyretic actions.
Pentazocine is an analgesic with agonist/antagonist action which when
administered orally is
approximately equivalent on a mg for mg basis in analgesic effect to
codeine.
Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic.
®
Onset of significant analgesia with pentazocine usually occurs between
15 and 30 minutes after oral
administration, and duration of action is usually three hours or
longer. Onset and duration of action and
the degree of pain relief are related both to dose and the severity of
pretreatment pain. Pentazocine
weakly antagonizes the analgesic effects of morphine, meperidine, and
phenazocine; in addition, it
produces incomplete reversal of cardiovascular, respiratory, and
behavioral depression induced by
morphine and meperidine. Pentazocine has about 1/50 the antagonistic
activity of nalorphine. It also has
sedative activity.
Pentazocine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Plasma
