Pharmacology of Opioid Narcotic Analgesics and Related Drugs Flashcards
opioid narcotic mu R antagonists
- Nalozone
- Naltrexone
- Methyl naltrexone (GI specific)
opioid partial agonists or mixed agonists/antagonists
- Buprenorphine
- Buprenorphine–naloxone
- pentaxocine
insolube, poorly absorbed opioid R agonists used for diarrhea?
- loperamide
- diphenoxylate
common opioid related anti-tussive agents (cough suppression)
- codeine
- dextromethorphan
- hydrocodone
pain impulse pathway
-afferent signal pathway (opioid R unoccupied)
-increases Ca influx
increases glutamate discharge
-increases NMDA R NA influx
opioid agonist-mediated signaling pathway
- blunts signal (opioid agonist occupying opioid Rs)
- blunts Ca influx
- blunts glutamate discharge
- increases K efflux
full agonists to mu opioid receptors
- fentanyl (more potent)
- morphine
-partial agonist/mixed to mu opioid receptors
-Buprenorphine
Antagonists to mu opioid receptors
- Naloxone
- Naltrexone
mild pain–what treatment
- NSAID
- acetaminophen
moderate pain–or persisting or uncontrolled–what treatment?
- Codeine
- with/without acetaminophen, tramadol
severe oaub–or persisting or uncontrolled–what treatment
Morphine
fentanyl
acetaminophen, NSAIDS used for?
tissue injury
opioids (morphine) used for?
tissue injury=acute stimuli=nerve injury
anticonvulsants–used for?
nerve injury
what is the prototype mu agonist?
morphine
mu R clinical effect
- analgesia (supra-spinal)
- euphoria
- CNS and respiratory depression
- drug dependence
- miosis
- GI, uterine motility
Kappa R clinical effet
- analgesia (spinal)
- sedation
- miosis
- GI, uterine motility
tolerance to morphine (mu agonists)
-analgesia
-euphoria
-sedation
-nausea
-resp depression
(have to increase dose or rotate to diff opioid)
no tolerance to morphine (mu agonists)
- mioisis
- constipation
morphine side effect
- respiratory depression
- causes acidosis (high H), low HCO3, high PCO2
- along with hyperkalemia
morphine depresses what?
sensitivity to CO2! –respiration
