Q

Famotidine contraindication

A

Pregnancy: drug will be present in breast milk and can cross the placenta and blood brain barrier. (use cimetidine for pregnancy). Renal failure increases the elimination half life therefore decreased dose is recommended. Decrease dose in patients with acute burns. Decrease dose in elderly related to increased elimination half-life up to twofold in elderly patients. Famotidine interferes with phosphate absorption and can lead to hypophosphatemia in chronic uses.

Q

Famotidine Elimination

A

elimination half life 2.5-4 hours: combination of hepatic metabolism (principal mechanism for oral route) and renal. Renal clearance is typically 2-3x > creatinine clearance (extensive renal tubular secretion). Only 10-20% of the drug would be cleared by hemodialysis. Hepatic dysfunction does not have a significant effect on elimination.

Hypersensitivity to morphine, acute/severe asthma, Increase ICP, pregnancy, severe respiratory depression, paralytic ileus, pruritus

31
Q

Dilaudid Dose and Route

A

Dose:
Adult Analgesia: 0.5-1 mg (Miller’s Anesthesia Vol 2 pg. 2992)
Epidural Cont. Infusion: 0.1-0.2 mg/hr (Miller’s Anesthesia Vol 2 pg. 2992)
** 7-8 times more potent than morphine

Route: IV, PO

32
Q

Dilaudid MOA

A

Mu1 and Mu2 agonist

33
Q

Dilaudid Elimination

A

Elimination is via hepatic conjugation. Unlike morphine, it lacks the active metabolite M6G, therefore, administration is safe in renal patients
