Opioids Flashcards
stimulatory effects of opioids
miosis
convulsions
constipation
vomiting
brain mu
mu 1
peripheral mu
mu 2
endorphin
mu
enkephalin
delta
dynorphin
kappa
analgesia: increase pain tolerance and decrease perception and rxn to pain
sedation
respiratory depression: decrease response to increase pCO2, increase intracranial pressure
(do not give O2, give naloxone)
Gi coupling side effects of opioids
cardiovascular - vasodilation ( avoid in head injury)
urinary retention, urgency to void
biliary: sphincter constriction causing biliary colic
renal fxn (gfr) is decrease by opioids due to decrease renal blood flow
can cause gynecomastia or SIADH (stim release of ADH, PRL, somatotropin)
increase histamine release - pruritus
cough suppression - codeine
other SE of opioids
CI: head injury, pulmonary dysfxn, pregnancy, hepatic/renal dysfxn, adrenal/thyroid def
opioids
mu agonist
glucuronidation
motphine 6 glucuronide is highly active, caution in renal dysfxn
morphine
MOA: ionic channel, through release of endogenous opioid peptides, modulate pain through ascending/descending nerves
opioids
Classic triad: OD toxicity
pinpoint pupils
respiratory depression
coma
tx for OD toxicity
IV naloxone
occurs to all effects, except mitosis and constipation
tolerance of opioids
physical and psychological - addiction
dependence of opioids
