How Pentazocine Injection works
Pentazocine belongs to a class of medicines called opioid analgesics. It works by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord (opioid receptors) to reduce the perception of pain. Unlike some other opioids, it also has weak antagonist properties, which may reduce the risk of certain side effects like respiratory depression.

- Injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling)
