Which companies manufacture nalbuphine (brands and manufacturers)?
Nalbuphine is an opioid pain medicine sold under brand names such as Nubain (and other regional brands), and it is manufactured by multiple pharmaceutical companies depending on country and formulation availability. Specific “manufacturer” names can vary by product strength (e.g., injection vs. tablets, if applicable), labeler on the package, and local regulatory submissions.
How can I identify the exact nalbuphine manufacturer for a specific product?
To find the manufacturer for the exact nalbuphine you’re looking at, check:
- The package label’s “manufactured for/labeler” and “manufactured by” lines.
- The National Drug Code (NDC) or equivalent local product identifier on the box or vial.
- The prescribing information or consumer medication guide that lists the marketing authorization holder and manufacturer.
Are there different manufacturers for nalbuphine injection in different countries?
Yes. Nalbuphine supply is typically split across regions, with different companies acting as:
- Original brand manufacturer/marketer in that market
- Local marketing authorization holders
- Contract manufacturers producing under license
The manufacturer shown on your local vial/box is the most reliable way to confirm who made that specific supply.
What should I do if I need a manufacturer for procurement or compliance?
If you need a specific manufacturer (for tenders, audits, or drug tracing), provide the following so procurement can match the exact product:
- Dosage form (injection/other)
- Strength (mg/mL, etc.)
- Pack size
- Country/market
- NDC (or local equivalent) from the label
- Image or text from the “manufacturer/labeler” fields
If you tell me your country and the strength/dosage form (or the NDC/local code), I can help you narrow down which manufacturer is listed on that specific product.
