Opioids Flashcards
2 opioids used for diarrhea
1) loperamide
2) diphenyoxylate
lack analgesic effects at usual doses
coanalgesic for neuropathic pain
imipramine
meperidine AE
large doses given in short intervals - seizures, mydriasis
meperidine = short t 1/2 BUT its metabolite = normeperidine has a t 1/2 of 15-20 hours
fentanyl is metabolized by
CYP3A4
which opioids are metabolized by CYP2D6
codeine (used CYP2D6 to convert to morphine)
oxycodone
hydrocodone
combination of which two opioid types can cause withdrawal sxs
pure agonist + weak partial agonist - risk of diminishing analgesia OR inducing withdrawal
what is meperidine contraindicated with
MAOI, serotinergic agents
- meperidine can block reuptake of serotonin
what is tramadol contraindicated with
MAOI
epileptic patients: inc risk of seizures in pt with seizure disorders and those taking medications that lower seizure threshold
what are opioids contraindicated with
1) sedatives
2) anti psychotics
what clinical conditions are opioids contraindicated with
impaired: pulmonary, renal, liver, adrenal function
pregnancy
head injuries
opioids for severe pain
1) morphine
2) heroine
3) oxycodone hydrocodone
methadone AE
QT prolong - torsades
death
tramadol contraindications
serotinergic drugs –> serotonin syndrome
tramadol use
neuropathic pain
tramadol MOA
weak mu agonist AND NE/serotonin reuptake inhib
methadone MOA
strong mu agonist, NMDA antagonist, serotonin/NE reuptake inhibitor
pentazocine
mixed agonist and antagonist opioid
kappa agonist, mu antagonist/partial agonist
butorphanol
mixed agonist and antagonist opioid
kappa agonist, mu antagonist/partial agonist
nalbuphine
mixed agonist and antagonist opioid
kappa agonist, mu antagonist/partial agonist
buprenorphine
mixed agonist and antagonist opioid
partial mu agonist, kappa antagonist
