Butorphanol tartrate (stadol) is better suited for the relief of acute than chronic pain. Because of its side effects on the heart, it is less useful than morphine or meperidine in patients with congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction. The usual dose is 1-4 mg of the tartrate given intramuscularly or 0.5-2 mg given intravenously every 3-4 hours. A nasal formulation (STADOLNS) is available and has proven to be effective.
