Nalbuphine is a narcotic analgesic used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to opiate receptors in the central nervous system. Common side effects include sedation, drowsiness, sweating, nausea, and dry mouth. Nalbuphine is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity and overdose may require treatment with naloxone. Nurses must administer it slowly and monitor for respiratory depression.
