OPIOIDS - Opiate Education: Key Points for the Pharmacist

-

 Pain =unpleasant sensation acute or chronic consequence of neurochemical processin

the peripheral and CNS.

Opioids are natural or synthetic compounds that prodce Morphine-like effect

Opioids Receptors= Protein receptors in CNS ,periphery and GIT..μ(mu), k(kappa),

δ(delta) ..

Opioid Pharmacology Three major types of opioid receptors are involved in analgesia: mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Activation of mu receptors produces analgesia, sedation, euphoria, respiratory depression, constipation, and physical dependence.


Morphine=Prototype, high affinity for μ receptor

MOA= inhibit Adenylyl cyclase..increase K+ ion ..hyperpolarization..decrease Ca++influx

..Morphine act at k receptor in spinal cord & decrease Substance P..modulate pain

ACTIONS=Analgesic by rising pain threshold in spinal cord & altering pain perception in

brain...Euphoria..Respiratory Depression..Depression of Cough reflexes..Miosis(pin

point pupil)....Emesis by stimulating CTZ..decrease GIT movement..Dilate CSF so

contra in Brain injury..Histamine release..increase Growth hormone.. Prolong Labor

T.E= induce Sleep...treatment of Diarrhea...Relief of Cough...treatment of Acute

Pulmonary Edema

P.K=linear P.K..First pass met..Morphine-6-Glucuronide potent analgesic..

S.E=Respiratory depression..increase intracranial pressure in head injury...urinary

retention in BPH..Tolerance & physical dependence..contra in pregnancy

Constipation; treated by stool softener Docusate & laxative Senna

Meperidine=Synthetic opioid..for Acute pain..actions same to Morphine..dont cause

Pin Point Pupil..but causes dilation of pupil due to anticholinergic effect..

Not used in treatment of cough & diarrhea..neurotoxic properties..

S.E=Hypotension, Mydriasis, Hyperactive reflexes, dry mouth,blurred vision,

Methadone= analgesic coparable to morphine..not induce Euphoria..

MOA= anatagonist of NMDA receptor..also mediated by μ receptor..

T.E= in Neurogenic pain..used in controlled withdrawl from Heroin & Morphine..

S.E=Torse-de-point..highly lipophilic..show genetic polymorphism

Fentanyl=100 fold analgesic property of Morphine..short duration 15-30min..used in

Anesthesia...for analgesia postoperatively & during labor...in cancer patient with

breakthrough pain..

Transdermal patch can cause death due to Hypoventilation, ..causes meiosis

Heroin=DiacetylMorphine..not occurnaturally..cross B.B.B..not in medical use

Oxycodone & Oxymorphone= Semisynthetic derivative of Morphine..formulated with

Aspirin & Acetaminophen.. Analgesic 2 times to Morphine..immediate & exteneded

release tab

Opioids are a group of analgesic agents commonly used in clinical practice. There are three classical opioid receptors (DOP, KOP and MOP), while the novel NOP receptor is considered to be a non-opioid branch of the opioid receptor family. Opioids can act at these receptors as agonists, antagonists or partial agonists.


Hydromorphine & Hydrocodone= Hydromorphine prefer over Morphine in renal

dysfunction..8-10 time more potent

MODERATE/LOW AGONIST

Codeine= convert into Morphine by CYP2D6..Antitussive effects due to Codeine..

30%more potent than Morphine...

MIXED AGONIST-ANTAGONIST & PARTIAL AGONISTS

Drugs stimulate one receptor but block another

Pentazocine=agonist on k receptor..weak antagonist at μ & δ...analgesic..increase

pulmonary arterial pressure

Buprenorphine= partial agonist at μ receptor..use in Opiate Detoxification..

Nalbuphine & Butorphanol= in Chronic pain..Psychotomimetics effects

OTHER ANALGESICS

Tramadol= μ receptor activation...block reuptake of Serotonin & Norepinephrine....

Anaphylactoid reaction reported...interaction with MOAI, Tricyclic depressents

Tapentadol= μ receptor activation...block reuptake of Norepinephrine..

ANTAGONISTS

Naloxone= competitive antagonist of μ, k, δ receptors...reverse coma & Respiratory

depression...within 30sec of i.v inj...no pharmacological effect..

Naltrexone= longer duration of action than Nalaxone...combined with Clonidine for rapid Opioid detoxification

The only source of knowledge is experience because we health care professionals learn revised memorize by books but forget , Once you get experience you will never forget. So today I am going to share my experience that's not a big point for professionals but for you, the hardworking students it's very conceptual must grab it.  Today's a patient come in opd which get intravenous Meropenem and vancomycin (both are cell wall synthesis inhibitors) , oh yes also need to mention here patient had surgery of splenectomy 3 days before so he get coverage for gram positive aerobes, gram negative aerobes and anaerobes (Meropenem) , whereas vancomycin have coverage for cocci both positive and negative bacteria so both are broad spectrum antibiotics. But patient took intervenous medication for 5 days is it ok ??  Think  Thinkkk Thinkkkkk Ok I hope you all get the answer  No obviously its not ok because for coverage of microbes  after splenectomy as patient discharge so medic...
