Onset of sedative effects should be reached within 2–4 minutes after IV administration and 3–5 minutes after IM administration.

Twenty mcg/kg will usually begin to take effect in 2–4 minutes and provide 30–45 minutes of analgesia. The 40 mcg/kg dose will also begin to take effect in 2–4 minutes and provide 45–75 minutes of analgesia.
