Demerol

Pronunciation: me-PER-ih-deen
Generic Name: Meperidine
Brand Name: Demerol

Demerol is used for:

Short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain. It may also be used before or during surgery (eg, to support anesthesia), for pain relief during labor and delivery, or for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

• you have severely slow or difficult breathing


• you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days


• you are taking ritonavir, sibutramine, or sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Demerol:

Some medical conditions may interact with Demerol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have had an allergic reaction to any codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, hydrocodone, oxycodone, dihydrocodeine, hydromorphone)


• if you have a history of lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], cor pulmonale); low levels of oxygen or high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood; sickle cell anemia; adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease, pheochromocytoma); curvature of the spine (scoliosis); thyroid problems; low blood pressure; an enlarged prostate; urinary blockage or trouble urinating; lung, liver, or kidney problems; heart problems (eg, fast or irregular heartbeat); seizures; or stomach or bowels problems (eg, inflammatory bowel disease)


• if you have or have recently had any head injury, brain tumor or other growths, or increased pressure in the brain


• if you drink alcohol; are going through withdrawal from alcohol or other substances; or have a history of alcohol or substance abuse or dependence, mental or mood problems, or suicidal thoughts or attempts


• if you have severe diarrhea due to taking an antibiotic (pseudomembranous colitis), constipation, stomach pain, low blood volume, dehydration, drowsiness, or severe weakness, or have had recent surgery

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Demerol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Mixed narcotic agonist/antagonists (eg, butorphanol, pentazocine), naltrexone, or rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease Demerol's effectiveness


• Furazolidone or MAOIs (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of serious side effects, including coma, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, seizures, and irregular heartbeat, may be increased


• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine) or sibutramine because the risk of side effects, including increased body temperature, mental or mood changes, muscle twitching, or severe drowsiness, may be increased


• Acyclovir, cimetidine, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), phenytoin, or ritonavir because the risk of side effects of Demerol may be increased


• Muscle relaxers (eg, cyclobenzaprine) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because actions and side effects may be increased by Demerol

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Demerol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Demerol:

Use Demerol as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Demerol is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Demerol at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it.

• Tell your doctor if you still experience pain or if your pain gets worse while using Demerol.


• Do not use Demerol if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.


• Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
