Pethidine is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe [[Pain and nociception|pain]], and is delivered as its [[hydrochloride]] salt in tablets, as a syrup, or by [[intramuscular]] or [[intravenous injection]]. For much of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, pethidine was the opioid of choice for many physicians; in 1983 60% of doctors prescribed it for acute pain and 22% for chronic severe pain.<ref name="Kaiko">{{cite journal | last = Kaiko | first = Robert F. | coauthors = Kathleen M.

In fact, pethidine is no more effective than morphine at treating biliary or renal pain, and its low potency, short duration of action, and unique toxicity (i.e. seizures, delirium, other neuropsychological effects) relative to other available opioid analgesics have seen it fall out of favor in recent years, for all but a very few, very specific indications.<ref name="Wong">{{Cite web|url=http://www.mosbysdrugconsult.com/WOW/op024.html|title=Notes on Meperidine|accessdate=2007-04-13|publisher=Elsevier|year=2002-03-15|author=Donna Wong|work=Wong on Web Papers}}</ref> Several countries, including [[Australia]], have put severe limits on its use or curtailed it outright.<ref name="nsw">{{cite web|url=www.clininfo.health.nsw.gov.au/nswtag/publications/posstats/Pethidinefinal.pdf |title=Use of pethidine for pain management in the emergency department: a position statement of the NSW Therapeutic Advisory Group |accessdate=2007-01-17 |last=Davis |first=Sharon |date=August 2004 |format=PDF |publisher=New South Wales Therapeutic Advisory Group }}</ref> Nevertheless, some physicians continue to use it as a first-line strong opioid.

Pethidine's apparent ''[[in vitro]]'' efficacy as an "[[antispasmodic]]" is due to its local anesthetic effects. It does not, contrary to popular belief, have antispasmodic effects ''[[in vivo]]''.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Wagner | first = Larry E., II | coauthors = Michael Eaton, Salas S. Sabnis, Kevin J.

Its duration of clinical effect is 120-150 minutes. Despite producing analgesia for 2-3 hours at most, pethidine is typically administered at 4-6 hour intervals, so that the patient spends at least an hour (and up to four hours) between doses without any analgesia, resulting in much unnecessary pain and suffering. In addition, pethidine has been shown to be less effective than morphine or [[hydromorphone]] at easing severe pain, or pain associated with movement or coughing.<ref name="Latta"/><ref name="izenwasser"/><ref name="psrs"/> Like other opioid drugs, pethidine has the potential to cause [[physical dependence]] or [[addiction]]. In fact, pethidine may be more addictive than other opioids because of its exceptionally rapid onset of action and associated "rush", and additional activity as a monoamine transporter inhibitor, which results in cocaine-like stimulant effects in addition to its typical opioid effects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.npsradar.org.au/site.php?page=1&content=/npsradar/content/latestnews.html |title=In Brief |accessdate=2007-01-17 |coauthors= |date=December 2005 |work=NPS Radar |publisher=National Prescribing Service }}</ref> When compared with oxycodone, hydromorphone, and placebo, pethidine was consistently associated with more euphoria, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and impaired psychomotor and cognitive performance when administered to healthy volunteers.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Walker | first = Diana J. | coauthors = James P.

Pethidine is quickly hydrolysed in the liver to [[Pethidinic Acid|pethidinic acid]] and is also demethylated to [[norpethidine]], which has half the analgesic activity of pethidine but a longer elimination half-life (8-12 hours<ref>Norpethedine half-life. 2002. Australian prescriber[http://www.australianprescriber.com/magazine/25/1/12/3/]</ref>); accumulating with regular administration, or in renal failure. Norpethidine is toxic and has convulsant and hallucinogenic effects. The toxic effects mediated by the metabolites cannot be countered with opioid [[receptor antagonist]]s such as [[naloxone]] or [[naltrexone]] and are probably primarily due to norpethidine's [[anticholinergic]] activity probably due to its structural similarity to [[atropine]] though its pharmacology has not been thoroughly explored. The neurotoxicity of pethidine's metabolites is a unique feature of pethidine compared to other opioids. Pethidine's metabolites are further conjugated with [[glucuronic acid]] and excreted into the urine.

==Interactions==
Pethidine has serious interactions that can be dangerous with [[MAOI]]s (e.g. furazolidone, isocarboxazid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and sibutramine). Such patients may suffer agitation, delirium, headache, convulsions, and/or [[hyperthermia]]. Fatal interactions have been reported. It is thought to be caused by an increase in cerebral serotonin concentrations. It is possible that Pethidine can also interact with a number of other medications, including muscle relaxants, some [[antidepressant]]s, [[benzodiazepine]]s, and [[alcohol]].


Pethidine is also relatively contraindicated for use when a patient is suffering from [[liver]], or [[kidney]] [[disease]], has a history of seizures or [[epilepsy]], has an enlarged [[prostate]] or urinary retention problems, or suffers from [[hyperthyroidism]], [[asthma]], or [[Addison's disease]].


==Adverse effects==
<!--Label Display Image-->
{{Main|Opioid}}


In addition to the [[Adverse effect (medicine)|adverse effects]] common to all opioids, such as [[constipation]], dry mouth, lightheadedness, twitchiness, muscular twitches, and [[nausea]], the repeated administration of pethidine can lead to neurotoxic effects.  Pethidine should ideally NOT be administered by the intravenous route as there is a serious risk of triggering histamine release.
