Stadol Addiction

Stadol addiction is caused by long term intake of Stadol®, the brand name for butorphanol, an analgesic for moderate or severe pain. Administered every 3-4 hours either as a nasal spray or injected into the buttock or hip muscle or into a vein, Stadol® is typically prescribed for patients recovering from surgery or for migraine headaches. It works by binding to the pain receptors in the brain.

Since Stadol® became available in nasal spray form, abuse has increased, and more than 40 deaths have occurred. The FDA does not regulate Stadol® in most states. Butorphanol is believed to be highly addictive and if taken by a person already dependent on another narcotic, withdrawal symptoms may occur. Stadol addiction can occur if care is not taken to follow the doctor's instructions. Do not take a larger dose of Stadol®, or take it more frequently, or take it for longer than the doctor has prescribed.
