[edit]
I added cleanup-verify because a "clearance of 4,000 mL/min" and "effects [including] a 20% decrease in heart rate and arterial pressure" sound sketchy. mL/min sounds like a units error, and 20% at what dosage and in what type of patient? I don't know. Neurophyre 04:43, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
mL/min is an appropriate unit for drug clearance (meaning that 4000mL of blood is cleared of drug every minute), although perhaps 4L/min would be more appropriate. 20th June 2005
I have changed effects to reflect manufacturers package insert. The statement including 20% was inaccurate as you noted so I substituted the phrase "dose dependent" also consistent with manufacturers package insert. You are right remifentanil at high doses can cause a 100% decrease in heart rate and bp. Also the drugs renal clearance has very little to do with rapid resolution of effects so I deleted it (also clearance is 40ml/kg/min so 4000 was an approximation.

The side effects should include bradycardia and hypotension too, the latter used to good therapeutic effect. Jkbayley (talk) 13:58, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
ball and stick projection of the molecule
[edit]The ball and stick projection of the molecule is incorrect. There should't be the aromatic ring which we can see on the left side. 2A02:A316:6146:6E00:5DCA:9525:A1BE:A1F (talk) 08:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Dead ref link
[edit](cite 1) is broken where the Brazilian/Portuguese website is down, checked with downforeveryoneorjustme too.
I'm posting it on this talk page, and on the other one, because the mistake is duplicated on another opioid article here: Alfentanil - Wikipedia W;ChangingUsername (talk) 22:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
