Transcript
Hey guys, let’s talk about NEN also known as new vein. This is an injectable medication. So the therapeutic class or how the drug works in the body is an opioid analgesic in the pharmacologic class or the chemical effect of Ning is an opioid agonist.

NEN may cause respiratory depression in adults and in newborns. And it may elevate pancreatic enzymes in the event of receiving too much of this medication, Narcan or Naloxone is the antidote and do not use in patients who are also on Mao eyes, assess your patient’s hemodynamic parameters and also their pain response while on now be bine.
