Typical dosage for Butorphanol

Your provider will work with you to prescribe the right dose of Butorphanol for your individual needs. It's recommended to use the lowest dose possible for the shortest duration of time to manage your pain.

  • Nasal spray: The typical starting dose is 1 spray (1 mg) in one nostril once. A second 1 mg dose might be given 60 to 90 minutes after the first dose if you're still having pain. This sequence might be repeated in 3 to 4 hours after the second dose if needed.

Your dose might differ if you're 65 years or older, or if you have kidney or liver problems.

Butorphanol is also available as an injection that's typically given by a healthcare provider. They'll determine the dose that's appropriate for you.
