Cards

Term
A sedative that with high doses can cause convulsions and death
Definition
Meperidine
Term
two drugs that have anti-tussive effects
Definition
codeine and morphine
Term
causes tachycardia while other opioids cause orthostatic hypotension and bardycardia
Definition
meperidine
Term
morphine uses
Definition

pain

anti-tussive (codeine and dextromethorphane are better)

pulmonary edema

anesthesia

Term
morphine pharmacokinetics
Definition

-extensive first pass --> use IM, SC, IV or slow release morphine oral tablets or implanted pumps

-can cross all types of tissues, including BBB and for infants

 -conjugated in the liver via glucuronide; metabolites excreted in the urine

Term
pathognomic triad for morphine overdose
Definition

pinpoint pupils

respiratory depression

coma

*adminster opioid antagonist IV as needed

Term
drugs to treat withdrawal symptoms
Definition

methadone

clonidine

buprenorphine

naltrexone

Term
Meperidine vs. Morphine
Definition

-use for moderate-severe pain

-less potent

-shorter duration

-well absorbed orally (causes CNS excitation/convulsion)

-less pronounced  GI, biliary, uterine muscle (less constipation and length of labor)

-anti muscarinic effect (no pinpoint pupil)

Term
fentanyl
Definition

-synthetic strong agonists

-rapid onset, short duration

-use with droperidol for surgery and labor

-transdermal patch for CANCER

-lozenge on a stick for breakthrough cancer pain

-inactivated by CYP3A4

 

Term
levomethadyl vs. morphine for duration of action and oral activity
Definition
longer acting and highly effective orally
Term
addiction liability of levomethadyl
Definition

tolerance and physical dependence develops more slowly

withdrawal sx are milder, but more prolonged

Term
used only for treatment of heroin addicts
Definition
levomethadyl
Term
anti-tussive that are much less potent and higher oral bioavailability than morphine
Definition
codeine and hydrocodone
Term
codeine and hydrocodone
Definition
used with NSAIDS to prevent constipation for mild to moderate pain and cough
Term
oxycodone
Definition

highly abused #1 killer of drug abusers in sustained release formulations

-tablets used only for opioid tolerant patients

Term
diphenoxylate
Definition

used to treat diarrhea

-used with atropine

-low abuse potential bc of atropine cuasing weakness and nausea effects (anti-muscarinic)

Term
pentazocine
Definition

k-agonist with weak u-antagonist/partial agonist properties (Mixed Agonists/Antagonists)-Analgesia for moderate-severe pain (oral)

 

combined with naloxone to discourage injecting iv /dissolve for addicts

 

-a.e: inc BP and HR, tachycardia, hallucinations-MOA: release NE from symp fibers 

Term
Buprenorphine
Definition

mixed & partial agonist

20-50x more potent than morphine 

MOA: partial u-receptor agonist and k receptor

less severe and shorter duration of withdrawal symptoms

a.e: respiratory depression (naloxone resistant)

Term
Tramadol
Definition

synthetic analgesic agonist at u receptors

inhibits reuptake of NE and Serotonin= increase inhibition of ne, 5ht in pain transmission

a.e: OD >>respiratory depression and increase seizure

Term
Opioid Antagonists
Definition

competitive antagonist at u& other opioid receptor: reverse cns depression

 

Naloxone-rapid first pass metabolism, short duration

 

Naltrexone-cardiovascular side effects, increase HR, BP, arrhythmias, used for addicts and alcholics

 

Nalmefene-Only by injection, longer half life than naloxone

 

Term
Dextromethorphan
Definition

along with codeine and hydrocodone: antitussive activity is CNS mediated (non-opioid receptor)

 

metabolized by CYP2D6 to active (dextrophran)
