Piminodine (Alvodine) is an opioid analgesic that is an analogue of pethidine (meperidine). It was used in medicine briefly during the 1960s and 70s but has largely fallen out of clinical use. It was used particularly for obstetric analgesia and in dental procedures and like pethidine could be combined with hydroxyzine to intensify the effects.
