Nalorphine hydrochloride is a narcotic substance with mixed agonist-antagonist properties closely related to morphine. Given alone it produces a broad spectrum of unpleasant effects and it is considered to be clinically obsolete. Nalorphine hydrochloride is a partial potassium agonist and µ-receptor antagonist that exhibits minimal analgesic effects. The efficacy of reversing opioid agonist-induced rspiratory depressio is variable and can exacerbate in some cases. 6,4
