Prodine[2] (trade names Prisilidine and Nisentil) is an opioid analgesic that is an analog of pethidine (meperidine).

It has similar activity to pethidine, but with a more rapid onset and shorter duration of effects.

It was most commonly used for pain relief during childbirth[7] and dentistry,[8] as well as for some minor surgical procedures.

Prodine has broadly similar effects to other opioids, producing analgesia, sedation and euphoria.

[9] Unlike pethidine, prodine does not produce toxic metabolites and is therefore more suitable for high-dose therapy.
