> Today my Pain Doctor workrd me in and switched me to 50 mg of Demerol twice a day. I have trouble with reactions to generics so the pharmacy had to order it. I will up date you if it works or not. I just pray I do not have an adverse reaction to this one. Thanks to everyone who responded.
Hi there,
Demerol is a short-acting opioid which is used almost exclusively for acute pain eg. post-op. Demerol has a toxic metabolite and is not appropriate for chronic pain. After a single dose of Demerol, pain relief can be expected to last about 3 hours.
