What are the ADE and contra for Ibuprofen
ADE: GI irritation/bleeding (less frequent than with aspirin)
Low GI risk; moderate to high cardiovascular risk
Tinnitus
CONTRA: Angioedema
Aspirin sensitivity— bronchospasm
How does meloxicam interact with COX I and II
Preferentially inhibits COX-2 over COX-1 (at lower doses) looses selectivity at doses of 15mg/day
Clinical use of Meloxicam
OA and RA
What are the ADE for Diclofenac: an NSAID used to chronic MSK mild to moderate pain
High cardiovascular risk; moderate GI risk (oral formulation)
More frequently causes AST/ALT increase
What are the clin use of Celecoxib
OA and RA, Juvi RA, Ankylolsing and 1* dysmenorrhea
Developed to minimize ADE of GI
HIGH CV risk
And has a sulf group ( allergies)
Which NSAID has the least CV events
Naproxen
What drugs NSAIDS are the best for GI Bleeding Rsk pts
Celecoxib or non selective NSAIDS with a PPI or misoprostol
What are the three ways Opiods work
- Inhibit the transmission of nociceptive input from the periphery to the spinal cord
- Activate descending inhibitory pathways that modulate transmission in the spinal cord
- Alter limbic system activity (pain perception
What are the 3 kinds of Opiod receptors
Mu
kappa
Delta
How do Mu(1) and Mu(2) receptors affect
μ1: analgesia
μ2: respiratory depression, miosis, reduced gastric motility, sedation, euphoria, pruritus, urinary retention, physical dependence
What receptors does morphine act on
Mu I and II ,
Weak affinity for delta and Kappa
Half life of morphine
2-4 hours
What is the metabolite of morphine
Hydromorphone
How often do we have to do REMS training to Rx hydromorphone
Every 2 years
What is Dilaudid
Hydromorphone
Metabolite of morphine
better oral absorption and more fat soluable
Is hydrocodone a partial or full agonist at the Mu receptor
Full ( pure)
Oxycodone is metabolized in to what two substances
Noroxycodone and oxymorphone
What is oxymorphone
Semi-synthetic Mu receptor agonist
Works way better than morphine
What is a prodrug that metabolizes into morphine
Codeine
What age group should codeine not be used in
Death Related to Ultra-Rapid Metabolism of Codeine to Morphine
- Not recommended for <12 yo
- Caution in 12-18 yo with asthma or other breathing problems
What receptors does Buprenorphine interact with
Mixed agonist/antagonist
Partial mμ receptor agonist and kappa receptor antagonist
What is the clin use for buprenorphine
Opiod detox
What receptors does butorphanol interact with
Partial agonist
Partial mμ and kappa receptor agonist
What partial agonist can be use in labor when an epidural is not possible
Butorphanol
What effects does Nalbuphine have on receptors
Mixed agonist/antagonist
Partial mμ receptor antagonist and strong kappa receptor agonist
What is meperidine
Demerol
Severe pain
Half life 15-30 hrs
Renally cleared
What patients CAN NOT receive meperidine
Renal or liver impairment or being too old
Heart conditions ( negative inotropy)
Pts on MAOI
How much stronger in fentanyl than morphine
75-125 times stronger
What is alfentanil
More rapid onset of fentanyl
Does not accumulate when infused
What is sufentanil
Slower onset version of fentanyl but last just as long
What is remifentanil
Fentanyl version that is infusion only
Rapid onset
Shortest duration of the fentanyl derivatives
What receptors does methadone act on
Potent agonist at mμ, kappa, and delta receptors
Antagonist at NMDA receptor
Inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake
What is the half life of methadone and what is the drug used for
Chronic pain syndrome: (neuropathic, cancer pain, and chronic non-cancer pain)
For opioid-tolerant patients only
Unpredictable t ½ 8-59hrs
What the difference between naloxone and naltrexone
Naloxone:
Shorter acting used for Opioid rescue
No systemic effect when given orally
Used orally for opioid induced constipation
Naltrexone:
Longer acting and slower onset
Used in opioid and alcohol addiction
100% absorbed and active orally
How often can naloxone be administered
Q 2-5 min
How does naltrexone work

Abuse can cause SZR
What is considered opiod tolerant treatment/ exposure
More than 60 mg of MME/ day
How should Opiods be tapered
Taper by 20-50% per week (of original dose) for patients who are not addicted; the goal is to minimized adverse/withdrawal effects
Tapers slower than 10% per week (5-20% per month) better tolerated and appropriate for patients on long term opioids
Considered successful as long as patient is making progress
