Egleton: Treatment of Pain Flashcards
Non-opioid analgesics
Aspirin, Acetaminophen, NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors
Acetaminophen: major ADR
Hepatotoxicity (careful with alcoholics)
NSAIDs: major ADR
Gastric ulcers
Inhibit platelet aggregation (more bleeding)
Mu-receptors: key selective endogenous agonists
Endomorphin, Enkephalin, Beta-endorphin
Delta-receptors: key selective endogenous agonists
Enkephalins
Kappa-receptors: key selective endogenous agonists
Dynorphins
Opioid receptors:MoA
Activation of inwardly rectifying K+ channels
Inhibition of Ca2+ channels
Inhibition of Adenylyl cyclase (AC) {less cAMP}
{Hyperpolarize the membrane}
{Synaptic remodeling= tolerance/ addiction}
Agonist bias
They select which signaling pathways become activated upon binding to the receptor.
{form of tolerance?}
Morphine: use
Moderate to severe acute and chronic pain
Treatmetn of acute pulmonary edema
Relief of pain of MI
Hydromorphone: use
Severe pain
Methadone: use
Analgesia
Controlled withdrawal from opioids
Heroin: use
Drug of abuse
Oxycodone: use
Moderate to severe pain
Fentanyl: use
Surgery and post-surgical analgesics
Codeine: use
Analgesic
Antitussive
Propoxyphene
Weak analgesic
Buprenophine: use
Opioid withdrawal
Detoxification
Maintenance
Naloxone: use
Opioid overdose
Naltrexone: use
Opioid detoxification
Alcoholism
Morphine: MoA
Binds to Mu-receptor
(Less on Kappa-receptor in spinal cord)
Decrease spontaneous activity of gut/ CNS neurons
Prevent substance P release
{Affect respiration/ pain perception/ mood & emotion}
Morphine: effects:
CNS: Analgesia without loss of consciousness, Enphoria, Nausea/ Vomiting, Drowsiness/ Itchy nose
Eye: Mitosis (Edinger-Westphal nucleus) {Pathogmonic}
Respiration: Respiration depression (major ADR)
CV: Peripheral vasodilation, Inhibit baroreceptor reflex, Orthostatic hypotension
GI: Constipation {can be used as antidiarrheal!}
Endocrine: decrease plasma LH and Testosterone levels
Pathogmonic sign of Morphine intoxication
Mitosis
Morphine: tolerance and dependence
No tolerance for miosis, constipation, and respiratory effects
But otherwise, development is characteristic of opioids
Morphine: withdrawal symptoms
Rebound phenomenon Hyperalgesia {Increased sensitivity to noxious stimuli} Hyperventilation Dilation of pupils Diarrhea Dysphoria
Morphine: contraindication
Hepatic insufficiency
Respiratory insufficiency
Head injury
Morphine: treatment
Ventilation
Opiate angatonist {Naloxone}
Opioids for cough suppressions
Morphine, Codeine, Hydrocodone
{Decrease sensitivity of CNS cough center and mucosal secretion}
Bioavailability of Morphine
Low with oral formulation
Duet to 1st pass effect
