Dezocine is an injectable agonisthtagonist analgesic indicated when an opioid
analgesic is suitable for the management of pain. The drug differs from other opioid
agonisthtagonists by having a high affinity for both the mu and delta receptors and a
low effect on kappa receptors. Dezocine is reported to have a rapid onset of action,
short half-life and low abuse potential with insignificant side effects.
