Methoxyflurane

Penthrox is a brand name for a drug called methoxyflurane. It is an inhaled analgesic (pain-relieving) agent used primarily for the relief of moderate to severe pain, typically in emergency medical situations or during minor medical procedures. Penthrox is administered by inhaling the vapors through a hand-held inhaler device. It acts quickly to provide pain relief and has a relatively short duration of action.
