The medication is administered via inhalation, usually in combination with oxygen, and is used in minor medical procedures or for pain relief during labor. It is important to administer it under the supervision of a specialist.
Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or, in rare cases, hypoxia. Prolonged use or abuse may lead to vitamin B12 deficiencies and other complications.
