Pharmacological mechanisms
Valoron is a synthetic narcotic analgesic agent of the group of phenylaminocyclohexanes.
It exerts powerful analgesic action against different types of pain. Generally,
the efficiency of the drug in extero- and proprioceptive pain is higher compared
to the nonnarcotic analgesics. Its analgesic activity, as well as a number of other
effects, are related to the activation of specific opioid receptors in the central
nervous system, which regulate anti-nociception. It also exerts a spasmolytic action.
