Opioids are used |
To control pain in patients where NSAIDS are contraindicated |
|
Opioids mechanism of action |
Binds to receptors in the CNS and spinal cord. |
|
Receptors are stimulated |
To varying degrees by individual opioids |

Opioids pharmacokinetics |
ADME Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion |
|
ADME |
Absorption: opioids are usually absorbed well orally. Metabolism: occurs in the liver, duration of action is 4-6 hours |
|
ADME |
Absorption: opioids are usually absorbed well orally. Metabolism: occurs in the liver, duration of action is 4-6 hours |
|
Distribution of opioids |
Metabolized in liver reduces bioavailability. |

|
Opioids uses |
Analgesic: Treatment of moderate-severe pain. Cough suppression: for non-productive cough GI hypomotility; treatment of diarrhea. Sedation: relieves anxiety and depresses CNS |

|
Adverse reaction from opioids |
GI effects Constipation Reduces GI motility Nausea Hypersensitivity reaction Dermatological reaction. |
|
Opioids can cause |
Respiratory depression |
|
Respirtory depression |
Causes death when overdose Vasodilation results in intracranial pressure Hypothyroidism Elderly have decreases pulmonary ventilation Mask CNS diagnostic symptoms Reduced ventilation produces vasodilation Hyperthyroidism |
|
When opioids are taken with antidepressants |
It increases the risk of respiratory depression Md needs to decide if it is worth it. |
|
Opioid contraindication |
Alcoholism Head injury Chronic pain Respiratory disease Pregnant Nursing Constipation |
|
Opioid analgesic care consideration |
Addiction and dependence tolerance develops. Withdraw symptoms upon abrupt cessation Respiratory effect: respiratory depression leads to death from overdose. |
|
Opioid contraindication |
Chronic respiratory disease Head injury Hepatic, renal function impairment. Prostatic hypertrophy constipation |
|
Signs of overdose |
Pinpoint pupils Coma Respiratory depression |
|
Signs of overdose |

Addiction |
Porportional to analgesic strength. Dependant on drugs ability to produce euphoria and reduce anxiety. Length of administration Development of tolerance related to strength and quality |
|
Allergic reaction |
Skin rashes, urticaria, contact dermatitis Some brands are formulated with sodium bisulfate-be aware of sulfite hypersensitivity |
|
Opioid drug interaction |
Increased risk of additive adverse effects Increased risk of CNS depression Increase respiratory desperation rates Increased risk of constipation Alcohol anti-anxiety drugs. |
