Question
Answer
Opioid MoA = ?   * Produces analgesia through actions at G protein-coupled receptors in the CNS and spinal cord  
🗑
Opioids can be ?   * Full agonists, partial agonists, or antagonists  
🗑
Opioids have actions at ?   * µ (mu) -, κ (kappa)-, or δ (delta)-receptors  
🗑
Another special things opiods can do ?   * can be agonists at one receptor AND antagonist at another  
🗑
Receptor for Euphoria and Receptor for Dysphoria = ?   * Mu = euphoris..... * Kappa = Dysphoria  
🗑
Identify sites of opioid action in the ascending pain pathway = ?   * Afferent Nociceptor, Dorsal Horn, and Ventral Caudal Thalamus  
🗑
Systemic distribution of exogenous opioids does ?   * causes the release of endogenous peptides.... * Overall effect is an INCREASE of analgesic effect (numbing the pain)  
🗑
Opiod action on the Descending pain pathway = ?   * Inhibits release of GABA, inhibiting pain neuron transmission.... * Sites: Periaqueductal gray, Rostral Ventral Medulla, and Dorsal Horn  
🗑
Since opioids undergo an intense first-pass effect, the ____ Dose needs to be higher than the ____ Dose ?   * ORAL.... * Parental..... * Exceptions (poor first pass): codeine and oxycodone  
🗑
Main reservoir of drug = ?   * Skeletal muscle  
🗑
Metabolism of Morphine = ?   * UGT makes Morphine-3 = inhibitory/GABA actions and can cause seizures, and makes Morphine-6 = longer analgesic affects  
🗑
One Opiod that has NO active metabolite, and can ware off quickly = ?   * Fentanyl  
🗑
Turns Codeine in to Morphine = ?   * CYP-2D6 -- can see ultra-rapid metabolizers (need less drug bc morphine is gets in to the system a lot faster) see more pronounced effect  
🗑
CNS effects of opioids ?   * Analgesia, Euphoria, Dysphoria, Sedation, Resp Depression (watch in COPD ppl), Cough Suppression, Miosis (pin prick pupils), Truncal rigidity (treat with NeuroMusc Blocker), Temp issues ( Mu agonists = hyperthermia, and Kappa agonists= hypo)  
🗑
Peripheral effects of opioids = ?   * bradycardia (except for meperidine = Tachy), slows down renal function, Uterus = prolongs labor, Neuroendocrine = ADH-prolactin, and Flushing/Warming Skin  
🗑
Clinical use Example = ?   * Used in CV and other high risk surgeries where goal is to minimize CV depression  
🗑
**STRONG Agonist Drug List = ? **   * Morphine -- Hydromorphone -- Heroin -- Methadone -- Meperidine -- Fentanyl  
🗑
**MILD/MOD Agonist Drug List = ? **   * Codeine -- Hydrocodone -- Oxycodone -- Loperamide -- Diphenoxylate  
🗑
**MIXED Receptor Agonist = ? **   * Buprenorphine  
🗑
**Antagonist Drug List = ? **   * Naloxone -- Naltrexone  
🗑
**Miscellaneous Drug List = ? **   * Tramadol -- Dextromethorphan  
🗑
Methadone uses = ?   * To alleviate long term/chronic pain due to its long t 1/2.... * Withdrawal CxSx less likely too (can use for withdrawal pts too)  
🗑
Fentanyl = ?   * widely used and is safe since no active metabolite  
🗑
Meperidine = ?   * Has significant anti-muscarinic effects (anti-DUMBBELSS).... * Negative inotropic action on the heart (CI in Tachy).... * Can cause Seizures or renal failure  
🗑
Codeine = ?   * antitussive (cough).... * Watch monoamine oxidase inhibitor use with this drug.... * Consider a NO GO in kids due to metabolism  
🗑
Hydrocodone and Oxycodone = ?   * Less efficacious than morphine.... *Often combined with acetaminophen for mild to moderate pain..... * HYDROS = NOT used in Migraines  
🗑
Diphenoxylate and Loperamide = ?   * Used in the treatment of diarrhea.... * used with atropine (anti-musc) to stop abuse potential  
🗑
Antagonists primarily through µ-opioid receptors = ?   * Naloxone - IV and Naltrexone - Oral (Used for addicts in treatment programs and has use with alcoholics)  
🗑
Patient has a an opioid overdose and alcohol overdose, what do you give them = ?   * use Naltraxone....* Naloxone = use in OPIOD ONLY !  
🗑
Naloxone SE = ?   * A severely depressed (resp/CV) patient may recover for 1-2 hours then relapse – so monitor tmt  
🗑
Buprenorphine = ?   * SUBLINGUAL route.... * Potent and long-acting partial µ-receptor agonist and κ-receptor antagonist ..... * Use: analgesia and maintenance therapy during opioid withdrawal  
🗑
Tramadol = ?   * serotonin re-uptake blocker.... * is an adjunct.... * watch use in other serotonin re-uptake blockers bc = Serotonin Syndrome  
🗑
Dextromethorphan = ?   * Antitussive (cough)... * Kids Under 6 = BANNED  
🗑
Contraindications/Cautions = ?   * Pure agonists with weak partial agonists – risk of diminished analgesia or inducing a withdrawal state (bc partial gets there first).... * don't give if there is an increase in intracranial pressure .... * NO in Pregnants  
🗑
Some things that we never develop tolerance too ?   * Miosis (pin prick pupil) and Constipation  
🗑
Tolerance is minimized by ?   * giving smaller doses with longer intervals between dosing..... * tolerance is also usu to Mu-Rec... * also depends on the individual  
🗑
Dependence/ Withdrawal CxSx of a PURE agonist = ?   * yawning, mydriasis, anxiety, hostility  
🗑
Mixed = ?   * appetite and weight loss, abdominal cramps  
🗑
