Q

How is morphine metabolized?

A
  • Hepatic: conjugation w/ glucuronic acid
  • Kidneys
18
Q

What factors contribute to morphine’s minimal CNS absorption?

A
  • ↓ lipid solubility
  • ↑ protein binding
  • ↑ Ionization at normal bodily pH
19
Q

What is the IV/IM onset and peak of action for morphine?

A

Onset: 15-30 min
Peak: 45-90 min

20
Q

What differences does morphine exhibit in women vs men?

A

In women:
↑ analgesic potency
↓ speed of offset

21
Q

What is the protein binding of morphine?
What about the half-time?

A

35% protein binding
1.7 - 3.3 hours

22
Q

What is released from morphine administration?
What is the result?

A

Histamine → vasodilation and hypotension

23
Q

Morphine should be avoided in patients with ____ impairment as the metabolite morphine–6-glucuronide can accumulate and lead to _________ ________.

A

Renal impairment : respiratory depression

24
Q

What drug is a semisynthetic derivative of thebaine and is the most used opioid worldwide?

25
Q

What are the metabolites of oxycodone?

A

Oxymorphone (active)
Noroxycodone (inactive)

Oxycodone is primarily a prodrug.

26
Q

What is the site of action of oxycodone?

A

μ and κ receptors of the CNS

27
Q

What are the two types of PO oxycodone?

A

IR = Immediate release
CR = Controlled release

28
Q

What is the dose of oxycodone?

A

10 - 15mg (equivalence with 10 mg morphine)

29
Q

What is the onset of action of oxycodone?

30
Q

Opioids (in general) exhibit an ____ effect with other drugs that are CNS depressants

31
Q

Why is methadone used for opioid addiction maintenance? (3)

A
  • 60-95% oral bioavailability
  • High potency
  • Long duration of action
32
Q

What should be known about methadone’s half life?

A

Very long and unpredictable (up to 36 hours)
Can accumulate w/ repeated doses

33
Q

What various receptors affinities does methadone have? (4)

A
  • Weak noncompetitive NMDA antagonist
  • Serotonin reuptake inhibitor
  • Monoamine reuptake inhibitor
  • High μ receptor affinity
34
Q

What would occur with concurrent methadone and carbamazepine use?

A

Carbamazepine is a CYP450 inducer thus methadone will be metabolized faster.

35
Q

What agents can inhibit the metabolism of methadone?

A

CYP450 Inhibitors:

  • Antiretrovirals
  • Grapefruit juice
36
Q

How much is methadone clearance affected by hepatic and renal impairment?

37
Q

What is the dose of methadone?

A

2.5 - 10 mg PO/IM/SC q4-12 hours

38
Q

Why are standardized simple dosing guidelines unachievable for methadone?

A

High variable half life (8-80 hours)

39
Q

What is the worst med interaction associated with methadone?

40
Q

What drugs are known to increase the concentration/effects of methadone? (3)

A
  • Cipro
  • Diazepam
  • Acute EtOH
41
Q

What drugs are known to decrease concentration/effects of methadone? (5)

A
  • Anti-retrovirals
  • Phenobarbital
  • Phenytoin
  • Rifampin
  • MAOI’s
42
Q

What cardiac complication can occur in rare cases with methadone usage?

A

Pause dependent dysrhythmia

43
Q

What is the half life of codeine?

A

3-3.5 hours
