DEMEROL 50 MG

PURCHASE DEMEROL 50 MG SANOFI AVENTIS MEPERIDINE

Demerol 50 mg Sanofi Aventis is the brand name of the prescription drug meperidine.

The drug is used to treat moderate-to-severe pain, help put people to sleep before an operation, and provide pain relief after childbirth.

Demerol is classified as a Schedule II (C-II) controlled substance.

Demerol belongs to a class of pain medications called opioid analgesics, which work by binding to receptors on the surface of cells where opium normally binds, and stopping the body from sending pain signals to the brain.

Originally manufactured by Sanofi Aventis, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved Demerol in 1942.

DEMEROL 50 MG SANOFI AVENTIS AND ALCOHOL
Both Demerol and alcohol can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and blurry vision.

Drinking while taking Demerol can make these side effects worse, so try to avoid, or at least limit, alcohol while taking Demerol.

DEMEROL AND GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
You should avoid eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking Demerol.

Grapefruit juice slows down how quickly the body is able to break down the Demerol, which could cause Demerol levels in the blood to rise dangerously high.

DEMEROL DOSAGE
Demerol 50 mg Sanofi Aventis comes in 50 milligram (mg) and 100 mg tablets, while the injectable liquid comes in vials that contain 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg per milliliter of solution.

If you’ve never taken Demerol or any other drug belonging to the opioid family, your doctor may start you at a lower dose of 50 mg, every 3 to 4 hours as needed for pain.

A typical dose ranges between 50 mg to 150 mg, every 3 to 4 hours on an as-needed basis.

It’s important to only take Demerol if you absolutely need it. This will prevent building tolerance or overdosing on the drug.

Demerol is not intended for long-term pain management, and unless directed by your doctor, you should not take more than 600 mg within a 24-hour period.
