Sintesi
Butorphanol is a mixed agonist-antagonist, while sufentanil is a potent full mu-agonist. Together they can add to sedation and respiratory depression, and in opioid-dependent patients butorphanol may blunt analgesia or precipitate withdrawal. The effect depends on dose and prior opioid exposure.
