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
