pre and post op analgesic, adjunct to anesthesia
fentanyl patches
long duration, slow onset, chronic pain, post surg pain (not immed)
Sulfentanil
general anesthesia
Remifentanil
induction of anesthesia, gen anesthesia, post op anesthesia
methadone, LAAM
long lasting-24 hrs, opioid addiction, replace injectable/short dur drugs w/prob sedation
Pentazocine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, buprenorphine
lower inc of phys dependence (antagonists at high doses)
Butorphanol
nasal spray fast onset for migraine relief
Naloxone (SA IV), naltrexone (oral), nalmefene (LL IV)
reverse opiate overdose
Naltrexone
alcohol addiction, opiate addiction (must be opiate free)
Ziconotide
intrathecal route, good for severe pain unresponsive to opioids
NSAIDS
mild migraines, short duration (repeatable)
Triptans
less vasoconstrictive action, safer than ergots
Beta blockers (DOC), valproic acid, CCBs
prophylaxis for migraines
Diazepam
produces sedation needed for spasm Tx
Cyclobenzaprine
skeletal muscle relaxant
Baclofen
spasticity (esp spinal or periph originm MS or cerebral palsy)
Dantrolene
spasticity due to stroke, spinal cord injury, MS r cerebral palsy, Tx for malignant hyperthermia
2nd gen-atypical antipsychotics
DOC (but don't use clozapine first)
1st gen (typical antipsychotics)-chlorpromazine, triflupromazine, fluphenazine, thioridazine, thiothixene, haloperidol
neuroleptic effect (val in aggressive/dangerous pts), nicknamed "major tranquilizers"
Low D2 blockade (clozapine)
most efficacious, no movement toxicity (but serious blood toxicity), seizures, inc TG, DM onset, weight , not first-line)
2nd gen atypicals (clozapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone)
better benefit against negative Sx, lower tardive dyskinesias/extrapyramidal s/e, lower/no endocrine effects
Risperidone
DOC, blocks D2 at high doses
aripiprazole
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder-acute mania, major depression, acute agitation
quetiapine
good for schizo pts w/HTN
1st gen typicals
psychosis, n/v (except thioridazine), intractable hiccough, gilles de la tourettes syndrome, choreas
haloperidol
DOC for acute episodes of schizophrenia, given IM for neuroleptic actions, for emergency psych use
benzos
used in early therapy as minor tranquilizers while antipsychotic action takes hold, minimal respiratory, CV and GI depression when used alone
Chlordiazepoxide, clorazepate, diazepam, flurazepam
once daily dosing, lasts 1-3 days
Alprazolam, estazolam, temazepam, lorazepam
1 or 2 daily doses, lasts 10-20 hrs
oxazepam, triazolam
3 times dosing, lasts up to 8 hrs
Flumazenil
antidote for benzo overdose (displaces benzos from the allosteric binding site on the GABA receptor complex)
buspirone
no tolerance/phys dependence, no interaction with alcohol or other depressants, good for pts with alcohol/drug abuse Hx
beta blockers
mask Sx of anxiety w/o sedation (tremors, sweat, tachy, plapitations)
antihistamines
mask Sx of anxiety with sedation effects, used for pre-surg anxiety
Levadopa
Parkinsons (take after low protein meal or on empty stomach)
Carbidopa
minimized peripheral side effects and maximize central conversion of levodopa to dopamine
Selegiline, rasagiline
used in on-off phenomenon
Trihexyphenidyl, benztropine
lower inc of periph anticholinergic actions
Levodopa with carbidopa
reduces dose required of L-dopa, reduces peripheral/GI s/e's
Amantidine
possible progression slowing of neurodegen dz
entacapone, tolcapone
used in on-off effect
beta blockers (propanolol)
essential tremor
dopamine blockers (haloperidol, phenothiazine)
chorea, Tourettes
Tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine
blocks NDMA receptor to slow progression of neuronal loss of dementia, well-tolerated
Vitamin E
add to any dementia tx as antioxidant
