Viminol is a centrally acting opioid analgesic with both agonist and antagonist properties, first introduced in the 1960s as a painkiller. It has a unique chemical structure and has been used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, but is not widely used or approved in most countries today.
No peer-reviewed clinical pharmacokinetic studies in humans were identified for viminol. Parameter estimates are based on typical values for oral opioid analgesics and sparse animal data.
