Propiram (Algeril) is an opioid analgesic from the ampromide family of drugs. It was invented in the 1970s but was not widely marketed, although it saw some limited clinical use, especially in dentistry.

Propiram is an effective analgesic comparable to other drugs such as codeine and pethidine, with a normal dose of around 50-100mg.[1] It is more potent and effective than codeine,[2] and longer lasting and with a faster onset of action compared to pethidine.[3] Side effects include sedation, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.[4]
