TALWIN How does it work?
Pentazocine is a type of
medicine called an opioid
painkiller. Opioid painkillers
such as pentazocine that
work by mimicking the
action of naturally occurring
pain-reducing chemicals
called endorphins.
Endorphins are found in the
brain and spinal cord.
Pentazocine mimics the
action of endorphins by
combining with the opioid
receptors in the brain and
spinal cord. This blocks the
transmission of pain signals
sent by the nerves to the
brain. Therefore, even
though the cause of the
pain may remain, less pain
is actually felt.
