Remifentanil

Common Name

Remifentanil Description

Remifentanil (marketed by Abbott as Ultiva) is a potent litra short-acting synthetic opioid analgesic drug. It is given to patients during surgery to relieve pain and as an adjunct to an anaesthetic. Remifentanil is a specific mu-type-opioid receptor agonist. Hence, it causes a reduction in sympathetic nervous system tone, respiratory depression and analgesia. Structure
