Your comfort during treatment is of paramount importance.
There are medicines available that can be used to provide you with relief. Your doctor or healthcare professional can offer you medicines to provide you with relief during your treatment.
Penthrox® (methoxyflurane) belongs to a group of medicines called non-narcotic inhalational analgesics. Penthrox® is used for the relief of pain.
Penthrox® is self-administered (under supervision) by inhaling through the hand-held Penthrox® Inhaler. Penthrox® should be used by people with stable blood flow.
We recommend that patients review the full Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) for Penthrox® before use.
Your doctor or healthcare professional may have prescribed Penthrox® for another reason. Ask your doctor or healthcare professional if you have any questions about why Penthrox® has been prescribed for you.
Ask your doctor or healthcare professional for more details regarding Penthrox® prior to your next treatment.
