Dr. Sun Shaolong
Some analgesics can be administered intravenously, while others are suitable for intra-articular injection. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) available for injection include acetylsalicylic acid derivatives—such as ketorolac, lornoxicam, and butazolidin. Opioid injectables include fentanyl, sufentanil, pethidine, oxycodone, morphine, buprenorphine, tramadol, papaverine, and dihydroetorphine. Opioids are controlled substances and must be used strictly in accordance with regulations.
