Name 4 Strong Opioid Agonists
|
* Fentanyl
* Meperidine * Methadone * Morphine |
|
Name 5 weak Opioid Agonists
|
* Dextromethorphan
* Diphenoxylate * Loperamide * Propoxyphene * Tramadol |
|
5 agents in this class affect all of the opiod receptors. What are they.
|
Antagonists
Naloxone, Naltrexone, Nalmefene Agonists Codeine, Morphine |
|
Name the three opioid receptors
|
Mu, Kappa, Delta
|
|
What do the kappa receptors do?
|
spinal analgesia
|
|
What do the mu receptors do?
|
supra spinal analgesia, respiratory depression, miosis
|
|
What do delta receptors do?
|
analgesia
|
|
Which 2 receptors are responsible for physical dependence?
|
mu, delta
|
|
How do opioid receptors work?
|
Open K channels through G protein to hyper polaize
|
|
Cardiovascular Effects
|
Decreased myocardial oxygen demand
Vasodilation and orthostatic hypotension |
|
Gastrointestinal and Biliary Effects
|
Decreased gastric motility and constipation (increased muscle tone leads to diminished propulsive peristalsis in colon)
Biliary colic from increased sphincter tone and pressure Nausea and vomiting (from direct stimulation of chemoreceptor trigger zone) |
|
Genitourinary Effects
|
Increased bladder sphincter tone
Increased urine retention |
|
Uses of morphine (2)?
|
severe pain associated with trauma, myocardial infarction (MI), or cancer
Heart failure --> reduce afterload and preload |
|
Name the drug: antitussive, mild pain
|
codeine
|
|
Name the drug:
Acute pain syndromes, such as MI, neuralgia, painful procedures (short-term treatment) Used to interrupt amphotericin B induced or postoperative shivering and shaking chills |
Meperidine
|
|
Name the drug: used for panceatitis and cause mydriasis
anxiety and seizures due to accumulation of a metabolite |
Meperidine
|
|
Name the drug:
Maintenance therapy for heroin addicts Control of withdrawal symptoms from opioids Neuropathic pain |
Methadone
|
|
Name the drug:
Relative to morphine: less nausea Uses: Anesthesia, in some cases (cardiovascular surgery) |
Fentanyl
|
|
Name 3 pure opiod antagonists used to treat overdose.
|
Nalmefene, Naloxone, Naltrexone
|
|
Name the drug:
Uses: acute and chronic pain syndromes Adverse effect: decreased seizure threshold |
Tramadol
|
|
Name the drug:
used in the treatment of diarrhea |
Loperamide
|
|
Name the drug:
minimal analgesic activity; used as an antitussive agent |
Dextromethorphan
|
|
Name 4 mixed opioid agonist-antagonist
|
* Buprenorphin
* Butorphanol * Nalbuphine * Pentazocine |
|
Name 3 Moderate Opioid Agonists
|
* Codeine
* Hydrocodone * Oxycodone |
|
Advantages of mixed types
|
Respiratory depressant effects do not rise proportionately with increasing doses.
Associated with a much lower risk of drug dependence than morphine |
|
How do the opioid antagonists work?
|
competitive inhibition at mu receptor
|
|
What can happen if you give an addict Naloxone?
|
induce withdrawal symptoms
|
