24
Q

Peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonists (PAMORAs)

A

Blocks opioid receptors in the gut to decrease constipation w/o affecting analgesia
-methylnatrexone (Relistor)

D/C all laxatives prior to use

25
Q

Mu receptor agonists and NE reuptake inhibitors

A

Tramadol - max 300/400mg day - inhibits reuptake of serotonin too
Tapentadol (Nucynta)

Buprenorphine is a ________ mu-opioid agonist

A

PARTIAL

  • antagonist @ high doses (tx addiction)
27
Q

Buprenorphine/naloxone MOA for each

A

Buprenorphine suppresses withdrawal sx

Naloxone helps prevent misuse

28
