NALBUPHINE SUMMARY
NALBUPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE Injection
Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution of nalbuphine hydrochloride in water for injection. This product may be administered by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. Each milliliter (mL) contains nalbuphine hydrochloride 10 mg or 20 mg; sodium citrate, dihydrate 0.47 mg and citric acid, anhydrous 0.63 mg added as buffers and may contain sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid for pH adjustment; pH 3.7 (3.0 to 4.5). Contains sodium chloride for tonicity adjustment. Multiple-dose vials contain 1.8 mg/mL methylparaben and 0.2 mg/mL propylparaben added as preservatives. Single-dose products contain no bacteriostat or antimicrobial agent and unused portions must be discarded.
Nalbuphine hydrochloride is indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Nalbuphine hydrochloride can also be used as a supplement to balanced anesthesia, for preoperative and postoperative analgesia, and for obstetrical analgesia during labor and delivery.

Antinociceptive effects of nalbuphine hydrochloride in Hispaniolan Amazon parrots (Amazona ventralis). [2011.06]
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antinociceptive effects and duration of action of nalbuphine HCl administered IM on thermal thresholds in Hispaniolan Amazon parrots (Amazona ventralis). ANIMALS: 14 healthy adult Hispaniolan Amazon parrots of unknown sex...
Comparison between tramadol hydrochloride & nalbuphine hydrochloride in the treatment of per-operative shivering after spinal anaesthesia. [2011.04]
Per-operative shivering following spinal anaesthesia is a common problem in the operation theatre.This study was also done to observe the incidence of shivering during operation following spinal anesthesia.
Efficacy of intramuscular nalbuphine versus diphenhydramine for the prevention of epidural morphine-induced pruritus after cesarean delivery. [2011.03]
BACKGROUND: Pruritus is the most common side effect of epidural morphine analgesia. Diphenhydramine is a widely used agent for the treatment of urticarial pruritus. Nalbuphine is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist and has been reported to be effective in treating opioid-induced pruritus. We compared the effectiveness of intramuscular diphenhydramine and nalbuphine for the prevention of epidural morphine-induced pruritus after cesarean section... CONCLUSION: Nalbuphine proved better than diphenhydramine for prevention of epidural morphine-induced pruritus in patients who underwent cesarean section. Prophylactic intramuscular nalbuphine (10 mg) is effective in decreasing the incidence and severity of pruritus and does not affect analgesia.
Effect of treatment with a topical ophthalmic preparation of 1% nalbuphine solution on corneal sensitivity in clinically normal horses. [2010.02]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of treatment with a topical ophthalmic preparation of 1.2% nalbuphine solution on corneal sensitivity in clinically normal horses... The topical ocular treatment was not associated with local irritation.
Clinical Trials Related to Nalbuphine
The Development of Oral Nalbuphine Dosage Form [Recruiting]
Interaction Between Nalbuphine and Morphine in PCA [Recruiting]
1. Nalbuphine is opioid mu receptor antagonist and kappa receptor agonist
2. This study was designed to investigate the interaction between nalbuphine and morphine
Nalbuphine for the Treatment of Opioid Induced Pruritus in Children [Active, not recruiting]
Itching is a frequent and disturbing side effect of the use of pain medication such as
morphine. In the post-operative period, it can be more distressing to pediatric patients than
their pain. The current first line treatment, an antihistamine (Benadryl), has a low
efficacy. This treatment causes sleepiness and may be dangerous when used in combination with
other drugs.
Nalbuphine has analgesic properties similar to morphine as well as the ability to reverse
some morphine-induced side effects, such as respiratory depression and itching. Nalbuphine
has been used effectively for patients undergoing Caesarean sections. However, the
effectiveness of nalbuphine in the pediatric population has not been investigated.
We want to determine the efficacy of nalbuphine in the treatment of itching after morphine
for postoperative pain relief. We will use a novel method to measure the effect of the
treatment using an intensity scale before and after the drug, to determine the intensity
difference.
Herb Drug Interaction of Traditional Chinese Herb and Commonly Used Drugs [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible response to nalbuphine (Nubian) and
morphine with traditional Chinese herbs in healthy volunteers.
Effect of Nalbuphine and Naloxone on Experimentally Induced Skin Sensitivity [Not yet recruiting]
In previous clinical studies of post-surgical pain the investigators found that nalbuphine
(Nubain), a narcotic pain killer, relieves pain more effectively when combined with low-dose
naloxone (Narcan), a drug that is used to treat narcotic overdose. This finding was
particularly true in men. The purpose of this study is to find out if nalbuphine combined
with naloxone is more effective in relieving experimentally produced pain than either drug
alone. A second reason for this study is to find out if study medications work more
effectively in women or in men. Subjects will come to the University of California at San
Francisco (UCSF) Clinical Research Center (CRC) for 4 study visits. The first visit will be
a 2-hour screening to assess the subject for study eligibility. During the other three
visits, the investigators will use a thermal stimulating device to produce temporary,
non-injurious skin sensitivity that subjects will feel as painful. Changes in pain will be
measured following the intravenous (i. v.) administration of study drugs. Three drug
combinations will be administered, a different one each visit: 1) nalbuphine 5 mg and
naloxone 0. 4 mg , 2) naloxone 0. 4 mg and saline (an inactive solution), nalbuphine 5 mg and
saline. These drug combinations will be administered in random order; all subjects will
receive all three combinations.
