Which of the following is NOT recommended as an analgesic but used off-label for post-operative rigors?

  1. Morphine

  2. Methadone

  3. Fentanyl

  4. Meperidine

The correct answer is: Meperidine

Meperidine is the only option that is not recommended as an analgesic. It is still used off-label for post-operative rigors, meaning it's used for a purpose for which it is not specifically approved. The other options, morphine, methadone, and fentanyl, are all commonly used as analgesics.
