About Rubuphine 20mg Tablet

NALBUPHINE belongs to the group of opioid analgesics used to relieve severe pain. It may also be used as an adjunct to balanced anaesthesia for pre/post-operative analgesia, during labour and delivery. Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensation produced in the body in response to external changes, stress, or trauma.

NALBUPHINE contains 'Nalbuphine' that works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances (prostaglandins) and thus, relieves the body of swelling and subsequent pain. NALBUPHINE also blocks pain-producing nerve transmitters, leading to a reduced sensation of pain and offering massive pain relief.

Medicinal Benefits of Rubuphine 20mg Tablet

NALBUPHINE is an analgesic that is used as a painkiller for short-term management of severe pain. NALBUPHINE blocks pain signals, so the brain doesn't perceive the severity of pain, hence increasing the body's threshold for pain. NALBUPHINE may also be used as an adjunct to balanced anaesthesia for pre/post-operative analgesia, during labour and delivery.
