Q

MOA - Colchicine

A

Unknown. Thought to interrupt the cycle or monosodium urate crystal deposition in join tissues and therefore interrupts the inflammatory response that initiates and sustains an acute attack.

Inhibits urate crystal deposition, which is enhanced by low pH in the tissues, likely by inhibiting oxidation of glucose and subsequent lactic acid production in leukocytes

Q

MOA - Buprenorphine/Naloxone

A

Mu receptors are responsible for analgesia, respiratory depression, miosis, decreased GI motility, and euphoria. In the CNS, it promotes analgesia and respiratory depression by decreasing brain stem respiratory centers’ response to carbon dioxide tension and electrical stimulation. It also decreases gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion, induces peripheral vasodilation, and promotes opioid-induced hypotension due to histamine release.

Buprenorphine:

a) Mu-opioid receptor partial Agonist
b) Kappa-opioid receptor ANTAgonist

Naloxone: Mu-opioid receptor ANTAgonist (causes opioid withdrawal when injected parenterally;
used as an abuse deterrent)

Q

MOA - Methadone

A

Binds to opiate receptors in CNS therefore inhibiting ascending pain pathways, changing perception to pain and producing generalized CNS depression.

Phenylethylamine opioid agonist that is qualitatively similar to morphine but chemical structure is unrelated to alkaloid-type structures of opium derivatives

Analgesic activity of (R)-methadone is 8-50x (+ a tenfold higher affinity for opioid receptors) that of (S)-methadone

Pearls: Not for acute treatment therefore patient adherence is crucial. Full effect can take 2-6 weeks. Recommend slow dose titration.

130
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Colchicine

A

Counseling: Ensure patient is aware of proper dosing strategy for gout flares (dosing to symptom relief or onset of ADR, particularly diarrhea)

Pearls: Medication guide required for dispensing. A natural alkaloid found in plants like the autumn crocus and glory lily

131
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Febuxostat

A

Counseling: Take at without food. Recommend weight loss and limitation of alcohol to reduce gout attacks. Seek medical attention for severe mood swings, rashes or abnormal heartbeat.

Pearls: More effective in lowering uric acid levels but caused higher LFT levels than allopurinol. Associated with greater risk of CV-related death and all cause death. May need prophylactic therapy with NSAID or Colchicine for the first 6 months of initiation due to an increase in gout flares.

132
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Buprenorphine/Naloxone

A

Counseling: Use a stool softener and/or laxative to prevent constipation. Avoid driving and tasks requiring motor coordination due to drowsiness. Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants. Do not crush or swallow tablet. Place tablet(s)/film under the tongue until it dissolves. If a second film is needed, place on the opposite side from the first film. For buccal film, press and hold firm by finger against moist cheek for 5 seconds, do not use more than 2 buccal films at a time. If a second film is needed, place on the opposite cheek.

Pearls: Monitor for signs of diversion. Concurrent use with opioids with precipitate withdrawal symptoms. There is a ceiling effect which limits the analgesic properties. Sublingual film and tablet strengths are NOT interchangeable. Do not substitute within products. REMS program. Additional counseling and psychosocial support is recommended. Not recommended for treatment of dependence on long-acting opiates or methadone but useful for withdrawal of short-acting opiates and heroin.

133
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Codeine

A

Counseling:
If using chronically, laxative is recommended to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol.

Pearls: Caution in elderly as they are more sensitive to effects. Caution with other CNS depressants due to additive effects. Avoid use with benzodiazepines. Tolerance and physical dependence may occur; avoid abrupt discontinuation. Oral solution has 7% alcohol. Has a liquid formulation combination with guaifenesin for cough.

CYP2D6 gene interaction
Multiple genes - ultra-rapid metabolism

Lack functional genes - do not metabolize codeine to morphine

134
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Hydrocodone

A

Counseling: Use stool softener and/or laxative to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants.

Pearls: Caution in elderly. Avoid use with benzodiazepines. Tolerance and physical dependence may occur  do not abruptly stop. If using with APAP, do not exceed > 3 grams of APAP/day

135
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Methadone

A

Counseling: Use motility-promoting laxative to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants. Seek medical attention if SOB or extremely drowsy. Breast-feeding women should monitor child for signs of sedation & respiratory depression.

Pearls: Tolerance and physical dependence may occur  do not abruptly stop. High patient variability therefore careful initiation and titration dosing. Fatal respiratory depression has occurred with the highest risk at initiation and with dosage increases. For oral administration only. Do not chew or swallow table for suspension-dissolve in liquid and drink. Keep away from children and pets. Should avoid use with benzodiazepines. Medication guide required at dispensing. REMS requirements.

136
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Fentanyl Transdermal

A

Counseling: Use laxative to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants. Apply to clean, dry skin. Skin breaks may increase absorption. Remove old patch when new one applied. Febrile patients may have increased absorption. Monitor carefully

Pearls: Not for acute pain. Caution in elderly, due to increased sensitivity for ADR. Tolerance and dependence can occur, avoid abrupt discontinuation. REMS requirements. Also available as injectable, nasal spray, oral liquid, buccal film, buccal tablet, and sublingual tablet. Substantial differences exist in the pharmacokinetic profile of fentanyl products. Do not convert patients on a mcg-per-mcg basis from one fentanyl product to another fentanyl product; the substitution of one fentanyl product for another fentanyl product may result in a fatal overdose. Do not cut patch. Contraindicated in opioid-naïve patients; use limited to opioid tolerant patients. Avoid concomitant use with benzodiazepines, alcohol or other CNS depressants. Absorption from patch is delayed 12-24 h after patch placement due to depot effect in the outer layer of skin. Skin depot also results in lingering presence of drug in serum after patch removal.

137
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Morphine

A

Counseling: Use stimulant laxative to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants. ER products should not be crushed or chewed as it will release the total morphine dosage at once and increase the risk of respiratory depression. ER capsule can be opened and sprinkled on soft food but must be swallowed whole and not chewed.

Pearls: Avoid use with benzodiazepines. Tolerance and physical dependence may occur  do not abruptly stop. 20mg/mL concentration is only for opioid-tolerant patients. REMS requirements. ER products should not be used in children. Fatal respiratory depression has occurred but commonly at dose start or change. Avinza cannot be administered with alcoholic beverages or ethanol-containing products.

138
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Oxycodone

A

Counseling: Use laxative to prevent constipation. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants.

Pearls: Significant drug of abuse. Tolerance and physical dependence may occur  do not abruptly stop. ER products cannot be crushed or chewed because it will release total oxycodone dose and increase risk of respiratory depression. ER products should not be used in children. Keep in safe space away from children. Do not use with benzodiazepines. REMS requirements. Preferred to be used in combination with APAP due to beneficial pain management effect abuse potential.

139
Q

Counseling and Pearls - Tramadol

A

Counseling: Use laxative to prevent constipation if used chronically. May cause drowsiness, avoid driving or other tasks requiring motor coordination. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants. ER products cannot be crushed or chewed, but can be taken with or without food, but always take the same way to avoid absorption variability.

Pearls: Tolerance and physical dependence may occur  do not abruptly stop. Tramadol related deaths have been reported in patients with histories of emotional disturbances, suicidal ideation/attempts, or misuse of tranquilizers, alcohol and other CNS-active drugs. Suspension and creams are available in compounding kits. Avoid use with benzodiazepines. Tramadol does not appear to produce significant respiratory depression or CV effects in most patients.
