  • Back
codeine
opioid agonist. Prodrug, converted to morphine by CYP2D6. in combo with acetaminophen=Tylenol#3. weak, mild, a lot of variablity, not tolerated well. (as in any combo, acetaminophen limits dosing because of toxicty)
fentanyl (Duragesic)
opioid agonist. Patch, oral (lollipop, sublingual), epidural, intrathecal/subarachnoid. Really potent, lipid soluble/fast onset
heroin
opioid agonist. Diacetyl morphine. Pro drug converted to monoacetyl morphine and morphine in the brain. RAPID onset, analgesia and euphoria.
hydrocodone (Vicodin)
opioid agonist. Not active until metabolized to hydromorphone by CYP2D6. Combined with acetaminophen to make Vicodin and Lortab.
hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
opioid agonist. IV, PO. 5x more potent than morphine. More lipid soluble, faster onset. Hydromorphone-6-glucuronide less potent than M-6-glucuronide. H-3-G also inactive.
meperidine (Demerol)
opioid agonist. IV, PO. Faster onset than morphine, 10x LESS potent. Converted in liver to nor-meperidine which stimulates CNS-convulsions. Nor-meperidine 1/2 life extended (48hrs) in pts with renal failure. Use has decreased despite increased use of other opioids
morphine
opioid agonist. Slow onset of action. Clinical duration of single dose is 4 hrs (long). glucuronidation in liver, metabolites excreted in kidney. M-6 glucuronide 10x more potent, active metabolite. M-3-glucuronide inactive metabolite. Inexpensive, familiar. PO needs 3-5 more than IV
methadone (Dolophine)
opioid agonist. Oral. Ultra long acting (1/2 life 15-60hrs) used for opioid addiction (to prevent withdrawal). Also for chronic pain because less likely to be abused and pts don’t seem to get as tolerant as fast
oxycodone (Oxycontin)
opioid agonist. Metabolized to oxymorphone by CYP2D6. combined with acetaminophen to make percocet. Frequent drug of abuse.. Crushed pills are dangerous
oxymorphone (Opana)
opioid agonist. Available in extended release formula
propoxyphene (Darvon)
opioid agonist. Pro drug converted to morphine; weak analgesic efficacy (like tylenol#3) combined with acetaminophen=darvocet. [do not use]?
buprenorphine (Buprenex)
mixed opiod agonist/antagonist. Partial mu receptor agonist/antagonist. High affinity for mu receptor, kappa receptor agonist. Difficult to reverse agonist effect: useful to treat drug abuse, bad because difficult to provide analgesia for surgery if they have it.
nalbuphine (Nubain)
mixed opiod agonist/antagonist. Kappa receptor agonist and mu receptor partial agonist/antagonist. Used to manage short term, acute pain and side effects
pentazocine (Talwin)
mixed opiod agonist/antagonist. Kappa receptor agonist and mu receptor partial agonist/antagonist. Used to manage short term, acute pain and side effects
tramadol (Ultram)
mixed opiod agonist/antagonist. Partial mu agonist and monoamine uptake inhibitor (potentiates seretonin and norepi) combined with acetaminophen to make Ultracet
naloxone (Narcan)
opioid antagonist. Parenteral - prevent/antagonize opioid drugs. Can be used to treat EtOH
naltrexone (Revia)
opioid antagonist. Parenteral - prevent/antagonize opioid drugs. Can be used to treat EtOH
alvimopan (Entereg)
opioid antagonist. Poorly absorbed orally. Active opioid antagonist antagonizes GI sdie effects of opioids (gets rid of illeus after morphine dosing)
diphenoxylate (Lomotil)
antidiarrheal opioid. Poorly absorbed, stay in GI tract. Decrease secretions and motility
loperamide (Imodium)
antidiarrheal opioid. Poorly absorbed, stay in GI tract. Decrease secretions and motility
drugs with active metabolites
morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, meperidine, heroin, propoxyphene
CYP 2D6 polymorphism
rapid vs slow metabolizers (lack fxnl CYP2D6) mean variable response to opioids
butorphanol
kappa receptor agonsist and mu receptor partial agonist/antagonist. Used for acute, short term pain.
mu opioid receptor agonist fxn
influences motivaitonal-affective component of pain. Brain effects: analgesia, euphoria, resp depression, urinary retention, sedation.
