Though not commonly used as a pain killer due to the stress it creates in the patients system, Amthophene is an effective pain killer for even the most severe pain. Pain relief brought about by Amthophene lasts for a period of one hour, coinciding with the drugs nerve deadening affects.
Within moments of being administered Amthophene increases heart rate and breathing rate in a patient. Amthophene deadens patient's perception by coating the nerve endings with an impervious layer that blocks chemical and electrical transmissions. The coating lasts for a period of one hour after administration of the drug.
