Non-analgesic opioid
Dextromethorphan
Opiate
Term
Includes non-analgesics
Opioids
Name
Include synth drugs, endogenous (enkephlins)
Analgesic
Name
Pain-relieving
Endogenous Opioid
Mu receptor
Binds
- B-endorphin
- Enkephalins
MOST OPIOID EFFECTS
*analgesia, Respiratory, euphoria, dependence
Endogenous Opioids
Delta receptor
Binds
- B-endorphins
- enkephalins
Analgesia
Endogenous Opioids
Kappa receptors
Binds
*dynorphins
Analgesia, sedation, endocrine
Opioid Txs
- Analgesia (NO neuropathy)
- Antitussive (BUT NO COPD/ASTHMA (mucus)
- Antidiarrheal (CONSTIPATION)
Opioid
Analgesia effects
*threshold (discriminative)
ONLY IN OPIOIDS = *Tolerance (affective /emotion) = care less about pain
*ONLY PAIN = not temp, touch, proprioception (like LOCAL ANALGESICS)
Opioid Analgesia
Sites
Peripheral = C fiber
Spinal = stop ASCENDING PAIN pathway
Supraspinal = activate DESCENDING PAIN INHIBITORY PATHWAY
Major receptor for analgesic opioid fact
Mu
Opioids
Uses
Premedication for general anesthesia
- OR*
- general anesthetic adjunct
- primary general anesthetic (no CV risk) - fentanyl
- Spine anesthesia*
- fentanyl+anesthetic (epidural)
Antitussive effects
Mediated by (receptor)
DM receptor
NOT OPIATE RECEPTOR
L stereoisomer activates
Mu (opioid)
+
DM (Anti-tussive)
- Natural opioids
- Opiates
D stereoisomer activates
UNNATURAL STEREOISOMER
DM (antitussive ) ONLY
NO MU S.E.
*dextromethorphan
Opioid Anti-diarrheal effects
*Mu receptor
Opioid antidiarrheal
S.E
Delayed gastric emptying - other oral Rx slowed
If no cross BBB, no CNS effects
No tolerance
Opioid
General S.E.
Mostly MU RECEPTOR
- Constipation (no tolerance)
- N/V (Mu in CTZ + vestibular apparatus). = tx ondansetron
- Sedation = additive w/ other Rx
- miosis = (no tolerance, atropine)
- Pruritis = (NOT MU, from mast cell histamine)
- Respiratory depression - additive w/ other Rxs, delayed up to 12 hrs)
- urinary retention
- pinpoint pupils
- respiratory Depression
- decreased consciousness
