Pharm Notes

QuestionAnswer
Types of Opioid Receptors?(4) Mu:Analgesia(primary), Euphoria, Respiratory Depression, and Sedation. Kappa:Analgesia(primary) and Sedation. Delta: Analgesia(limited research. Sigma: Unwanted effects(dysphoria, hallucinations and confusion).
Opioids? alters the perception and emotional responses of pain due to receptors being in the CNS
Classification of Opioid drugs?(3) 1.Agonist(mimics/produce maximum effect). 2.Antagonist(block/reverse). 3.Agonist-Antagonist(mixing effects).
Agonist Opioids? Prototype?(2) Produce maximum effects of Mu and Kappa receptors. Prototypes:Morphine and Codeine.
Morphine's Indication?(5) Route(6) Pharmacokinetics?(3) Indication:severe pain, depress cough, pulmonary edema, MI(doesn't alter HR or BP) and antidiarrheal effects. Routes:PO, IM, IV SQ, epidural, and rectal. Kinetics:liver, kidneys, wide distribution.
Morphine common SE?(4) ADR?(4) SE:vertigo, faintness, light-headedness in ambulatory and puritus. ADR: Respiratory Depression, seizures, Tachycardia and confusion.
Other types of Agonist Opioids?(10) Codeine, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, Levorphanol, Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Fentanyl, Methadone, Propoxyphene, Meperidine.
