It is indicated for moderate to severe pain but is contraindicated in pregnancy, lactation, or hypersensitivity. Adverse effects include vasodilation, dizziness, headache, anxiety, sleep disorders, constipation, and confusion. Nursing considerations include monitoring vital signs, instructing patients to take the full course as prescribed and only as prescribed, and assessing pain level, signs of allergic reaction, and bowel and bladder function.
