Q

ceiling effect in which drugs

A

1) pentazocine
2) butorphanol
3) nalbuphine
4) buprenorphine

22
Q

mixed agonist and antagonist opioids AE

A

all cause psychomimetic effects except: buprenorphine

23
Q

mixed agonist and antagonist opioids use

A

to reduce addiction potential of opioids

  • potent in opioid naive pt
  • can precipitate withdrawal in pt who are already physically dependent
24
Q

buprenorphine use

A

management of opioid addiction
psychomimetic effect is uncommon
partial mu agonist and kappa antagonist

25
Q

naloxone

A

used in tx of opioid OD

opioid antagonist at mu, delta, kappa receptors

26
Q

naltrexone

A

used for opioid addiction – dec alcohol craving

opioid antagonist at mu, delta, kappa receptors

27
Q

antitussives (2)

A

dextrometorphan

codeine

28
Q

which receptors to antimotility opioids work at

A

mu and delta receptors on enteric nerves, epithelial cells, and muscle

29
Q

topical and blocks VG sodium channels

30
Q

loperamide and diphenoxylate act on which receptors

A

mu and delta on enteric nerves, epithelial cells, muscle

31
Q

which drug decreases craving for alcohol in chronic alcoholics?

A

naltrexone

32
Q

which drug is preferred for managing opioid withdrawal?

33
Q

what makes methadone a good drug for managing opioid withdrawal

A

long t 1/2 = abstinence syndrome is prolonged BUT less severe
less profound sedation
euphoria

34
Q

methadone vs morphine

A

equal in potency

less euphoria, longer duration

35
Q

fentanyl MOA

A

mu agonist
rapid onset/short duration

100x more potent than morphine

36
Q

meperidine MOA

A

mu receptor agonist

not recommended b/c of metabolite toxicity

37
Q

heroin MOA

A

hydrolyzes to 6-MAM –> then to morphine

38
Q

heroin vs morphine

A

heroin and its metabolite (6-MAM) more liposoluble than morphine = enter brain more readily

39
Q

morphine MOA

A

strong agonist of mu, delta, kappa
high affinity at mu
low affinity at delta and kappa

40
Q

which drugs are hydrolyzed by tissue esterases

A

heroin

remifentanil

41
Q

opioid metabolism

A

convert to glucuoronides = excretd by kidneys

42
Q

morphine conjugated

A

morphine-3-glucoronide = neuroexcitatory

also conjugates to M6G = more potent than morphine

43
Q

ingestion of toxic doses of mu agonists presents with

A

pinpoint pupils - d/t PS excitation

44
Q

where are mu receptors located

A

peripheral terminals of sensory neurons

45
Q

opioids MOA

A

close VG Ca2+ channels of PRESYNAPTIC NT and open K+ on POSTSYNAPTIC neurons

46
Q

receptors associated with supraspinal analgesia

A

mu, kappa, delta

47
Q

receptors associated with spinal analgesia

A

mu, kappa, delta

48
Q

receptors associated with respiratory depression

49
Q

receptors associated with dec GI motility

50
Q

receptors associate with psychotomimesis

51
Q

receptors associated with sedation

52
Q

G protein associated with opioid receptors
