N-Desmethyl Nefopam Hydrochloride(CAT: C000628) is the principal metabolite of Nefopam. Nefopam is a non-opioid, non-steroidal analgesic that acts centrally to alleviate pain. N-Desmethyl Nefopam is formed in the body as part of the metabolic breakdown of Nefopam. Nefopam itself is used to manage moderate to severe pain and is believed to work through multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine reuptake.
