Business Description
Demerol, also known generically as meperidine, is a powerful opioid analgesic used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It belongs to the same class of medications as morphine and fentanyl, and it works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord.Demerol binds to mu-opioid receptors, which are located in pain-processing centers in the central nervous system. This activation inhibits the transmission of pain signals and produces analgesia. It also has anticholinergic and sedative effects.
