Meperidine, also known as pethidine, is an opioid analgesic that is approximately 1/10th as strong as morphine. It is primarily used for the relief of moderate to severe pain, particularly in surgical settings or during labor. However, its use has declined due to the potential for side effects and the availability of safer alternatives. Additionally, meperidine has a shorter duration of action and can lead to the accumulation of toxic metabolites, which can be harmful.
