Your doctor has ordered butorphanol, an analgesic (painkiller), to relieve your pain. The drug will be injected into a large muscle (such as your buttock or hip) or a vein. You will probably receive butorphanol every 3 to 4 hours as needed for pain. Your doctor may also order other pain medications to make you more comfortable. Stadol Injection is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Your health care provider (doctor, nurse, or pharmacist) may measure the effectiveness and side effects of your treatment using laboratory tests and physical examinations. It is important to keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. The length of treatment depends on how you respond to the medication.
