Measure
Belladonna and Opium (B&O) Suppository
A single belladonna and opium suppository, dose-weight calculated, administered immediately following patient positioning prior to instrumentation. The pharmacologically active ingredients that are present in the belladonna extract consist of atropine and scopolamine. Opium is compound drug that is composed of 20 alkaloids. The principle alkaloid that derives the majority of its effect is its morphine content and acts as a narcotic analgesic by increasing the pain threshold or the magnitude of stimulus required to evoke pain.
