pain meds exam 4 Flashcards
where is an endogenous opioid peptide found
in CNS and peripheral tissues
what are the opioid receptors
Mu, Kappa, Delta
what mu
activation causes analgesia, respiratory depression, euphoria, sedation, decreased GI motility, and eventual physical dependence
what is kappa
activation causes analgesia, sedation, and decreased GI motility
what effect does delta have
no effect
how are opioids classified
pure agonistis, agonist - antagonist, pure antagonists
what is a pure agonist
morphine, codeine, meperidine (Demerol)
what is an agonist - antagonists
Pentazocine (Talwin), Nalbuphine (Nubain)
what are pure antagonists
Naloxone (Narcan), naltrexone
what is a strong opioid agonist
morphine
what is the MOA of morphine
mimic endogenous opioids and activate mu and kappa receptors
clinical uses of morphine
relief of moderate to sever pain
pharmacokinetics of morphine
any route
best to be schedules
metabolism of morphine
affected by first-pass effect
liver inactivation
adverse effects of morphine
respiratory depression
drug interactions with morphine
CNS depressants, anticholinergics, antihypertensives, agonist-antagonists, antagonists
fentanyl (Duragesic)
strong opioid agonists
parenteral administration of fentanyl for?
induction and maintenance of anesthesia
transdermal administration of fentanyl for?
postoperative pain in patients who are opioid tolerant
metabolism of fentanyl
hepatic bt CYP3A4
moderate strong opioid agonist examples
codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone
main difference of moderate strong opioid agonists
less effective , less abuse potential
codeine uses
relief of pain, cough suppressant
codeine pharmacokinetics
PO most common method
metabolism of codein
liver
adverse effects of codeine
sim to morphine, increase with higher dosage
agonist- antagonist opioid activate what
kappa receptor, and block mu receptors
agonist- antagonist opioid provide?
analgesia without as many side effects as pure agonist, less potential for abuse
agonist- antagonist opioid could cause?
withdrawal symptoms
pentazocine (talwin)
agonist-antagonist
pentazocine (talwin) MOA
activates kappa receptors causing analgesia, sedation, and limited respiratory depression
pentazocine (talwin) pharmacokinetics
PO admin
pentazocine (talwin) metabolism
short T1/2 ; frequent dosing
pentazocine (talwin) adverse effects
sim to morphine but less resp depression
increases cardiac workload
naloxone (Narcan)
opioid anatogonist
naloxone (Narcan) MOA
block the opioid receptor to reverse opioid overdose
