पेथिडीन और नाल्मेफीन का इंटरैक्शन

Management of respiratory depression may include close observation, supportive measures, and use of opioid overdose reversal agents (e.g., naloxone, nalmefene), depending on the patient's clinical status [see Overdosage (10) ] .

Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and CNS Depression : A recurrence of respiratory depression is possible, therefore, keep the patient under continued surveillance and administer repeat doses of ZURNAI using a new auto-injector with each dose while awaiting emergency medical assistance.

In neonates, opioid withdrawal may be life-threatening if not recognized and properly treated.

While the duration of action of nalmefene is as long as most opioids, a recurrence of respiratory depression is possible, even after an apparently adequate initial response to ZURNAI treatment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

In neonates, opioid withdrawal may be life-threatening if not recognized and properly treated and may include the following signs and symptoms: convulsions, excessive crying, and hyperactive reflexes.

There may be clinical settings, particularly the postpartum period in neonates with known or suspected exposure to maternal opioid use, where it is preferable to avoid the abrupt precipitation of opioid withdrawal symptoms.
