  • Title: Pentazocine fibrous myopathy: report of two cases and literature review.
    Author: de Lateur BJ, Halliday WR.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1978 Aug; 59(8):394-7. PubMed ID: 687053.
    Abstract:
    Two patients are described in whom the analgesic, pentazocine (Talwin), injected intramuscularly over long periods of time, resulted in a fibrous myopathy of the injected muscles. Although early testing of pentazocine indicated a low abuse potential and no skin or muscle complications, reports of such abuse and complications have since appeared in the literature, a review of which is included.
