Demerol (Meperidine) is chemically known as ethyl 1-methyl-4-phenylisonipecotate hydrochloride. Meperidine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics and is similar to morphine. Meperidine is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. However, due to the short duration of action, low potency, and toxicity of Meperidine compared to other opioid analgesics, the preference for Meperidine among physicians has reduced in the recent years.
