Abstract

Benzhydrylsulphinyl derivatives are used to prevent the sleepiness associated with pain medication. Such derivatives selectively antagonize the hypnogenic effect of anti-pain treatment, such as morphine, without affecting the analgesic activity of the treatment and without creating other disadvantages. Methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions are provided.
