Intro to Opioids
• Chemical class: Opioid vs opiate– Opiod means they act like an opiate
– Opiates are from poppy seeds
• Functional class: Narcotic Analagesic• MOA – body peptides (3) enkephalins, endorphins,
dynorphins (they produce their effects at these receptor sites)
• Opioid receptors - mu, kappa, and delta
– Agonist, partial agonist, antagonist• Partial agonists produces low to moderate activation alone, but
will block actions of full agonists if given simultaneously
– Strong and moderate to strong

Opioid Agonists
• Prototypes– Strong: morphine [Duramorph] CII– Moderate to strong: codeine [Paveral] CIII
• MOA / TE– Mimics action of endogenous opioid receptors
(mu) to produce analgesia and thereby relieve pain
– Other effects include drowsiness, mental clouding, anxiety reduction, sense of well-being. CNS Depressant
– Oral dose is a lot higher than IV in this case
![Page 7: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Adverse Effects – Resp. depression
• Diminished by “tolerance” • Most common cause of OD death
– Others • Constipation, orthostatic hypotension, urinary retention /
urgency, cough suppression, biliary colic, emesis, elevated ICP (intracranial pressure), dysphoria, sedation, miosis (small pupils), neurotixicity, immune and hormone suppression with prolonged use
– Toxicity • Classic triad (coma, resp. depression, pinpoint pupils)
![Page 8: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Miosis- tiny little pin point pupils
Mydriasis- with the d in the word, think dilated pupils
![Page 9: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• ADME (Pharmacokinetics) Nursing implications?– Given by several routes– Slowest to fastest– Time-frame for TE varies by mode of administration
• If you want the drug now, do IV. We need to know how long it takes these to work
– Denatured in liver – Hard to cross blood-brain barrier
• Precautions / Contraindications– Decreased resp reserve, pregnancy, head injury, infants
(crosses placenta) / elderly, hypotension, liver disease
• Interactions– CNS depressants, antihistamines, antihypertensives, MOAIs*,
antiemetics, amphetamines, agonist-antagonist, antagonists
![Page 10: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Dosage – Highly individualized – Table 28-6
• Administration– po, IM, IV, SQ, topical, PCA– Oral associated with chronic– Preferably fixed schedule– Site specific – hazards (epidural, effects
delayed…)
![Page 11: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Other Strong Opioids
• Fentanyl (Sublimaze)– Anesthesia primary use (injectable)– 100 X mg potency of morphine– Commonly seen as transdermal
• No children under 2 / none for under 18 less than 100 lbs.
– Transmucosal (popsicle)• Breakthrough cancer pain• Store carefully• very large amts of drug (can kill!)
![Page 12: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Meperidine [Demerol]– Interacts with several drugs – esp MAOI’s– Toxic metabolite (had problems in the elderly)
• Avoid use past 48 hrs and not to exceed 600mg/24hr.
• Hydromorphone [Dilaudid]
• Methadone• Help people addicted to heroin
• Heroin – crosses blood-brain easier
![Page 13: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Table 28-6 – Dosing for Opioids
![Page 14: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Moderate to Strong Opioid Agonists
• Codeine– Usual dose of 30 mg = about same relief as 325
mg of ASA or Tylenol– Combo meds more effective– Extremely effective cough suppressant at 10 mg
dose range
• Oxycodone [OxyContin, Percodan] & CR forms
• Hydrocodone [Lortab, Norco, Vicodin] CIII• Proproxyphene [Darvon, Darvocet] CIV
![Page 15: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Special Clinical Concepts r/t Use of Opioids
• Pain assessment – including evaluation!• Dosing amt and schedule• Fear of addiction in clinical setting• Avoiding withdrawal – 20 days or more
– They can have withdrawal symptoms• Patient controlled anesthesia (PCA)• Morphine: DOC - heart attack (MI)• Meperidine [Demerol]: DOC OB
– Doesn’t cross placenta
• Avoid opioids in Head Injury…

Nursing Implications
• Link to ATI pp. 133 (150)
![Page 17: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Class: Opioid Agonist-Antagonists
• Prototype: pentazocine [Talwin]– Others: nalbuphine [Nubain], butorphanol [Stadol]
• MOA - act mostly at mu kappa receptor to produce analgesia and relieve pain.– Alone = agonist action– With agonist = can antagonize (blocks mu receptor)
• Adverse effects – similar to opioids• ADME (Pharmacokinetics)
– Less respiratory depression, low abuse potential– Less effective pain relief– *Can start withdrawal sxms in opioid addiction
![Page 18: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Class: Opioid Antagonists
• Prototype: naloxone [Narcan]• MOA – TE / Use
– competes for opiate site and blocks effects of opioid agonists / agonist-antagonists – no significant effect given alone – resulting in REVERSAL of narcotic
• ADME– Rebound effect (narcan wears off and they are back
under the morphine…)
• Adverse effects: acute withdrawal• Dosage/Admin: 04. mg IM, IV, SubQ• Others: naltrexone [ReVia] ETOH/Opioid abuse
![Page 19: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Non-opioid Centrally Acting Analgesics
• Prototype: Tramadol [Ultram] – Others: clonidine [Duraclon] is another centrally acting analgesic –
pain / HTN
• MOA / TE / Use– Analog of codeine – binds w mu receptor producing analgesia to
relieve pain. Also blocks re-uptake of norepinephrine (lots of this in your system)
• ADME (Pharmacokinetics) – Minimal potential for dependence or resp depression
• Adverse effects– Rare – most common: sedation, dizziness, HA, dry mouth, and
constipation
• Precautions– Can intensify other CNS dep. – ABSOLUTELY avoid MAOIs
![Page 20: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Laxatives
Chapter 77
![Page 21: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bulk-forming
• Prototype(s): methylcellulose, psyllium (Metamucil)
• Action / Use– Behave like dietary fiber – nonabsorbable – swell to
form viscous solution / gel and softening fecal mass and increasing transit.
– Temp relief of constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel, ostomies
• Adverse effects– Esophageal & intestinal obstruction if not enough fluid ? If you don’t
take with enough fluid you can obstruct stuff. Builds a brick in the gut that doesn’t move
(If this, then?)
![Page 22: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Surfactants
• Prototype: docusate sodium (Colace)• Action / Uses
– Lower surface tension of stool and softens by facilitating penetration of water into the feces
– Act on intestinal wall to inhibit fluid absorption and stimulate secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen.
– Brings water into the stool and makes it softer
• ADME– Full glass of water– Sit upright for 30 min (kind of oil based and you can aspirate the stuff
and get pneumonia)– Effectiveness dose related (min 200 mg/day)
• Adverse reactions – rare• Dosage: 50 to 500 mg daily ( but usually at least 200
mg a day)
![Page 23: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
StimulantsTypically abused the most
• Prototype(s): bisacodyl (Dulcolax), senna (Senekot)
• Action / Legitimate Uses– Directly stimulate gut motility, increase secretion of water and
ions into intestine, and reduce water and electrolyte absorption.– Uses: Treatment of (1) opioid-induced constipation and (2) slow
transit constipation
• Dosage: related to formulation administered– Take bisacodyl no sooner than 1 hour after ingesting milk or
antacids – do not crush
• Adverse reactions– Bowel rupture can occur – If you have gut surgery and your sutures are healing, if you give
them this is makes their gut move and can tear open the incision
![Page 24: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Osmotics
• Salts Prototype: sodium phosphate (Fleet) and magnesium salts
• Action /Uses– Non-absorbable and retains water in the colon
• Adverse reaction– Dehydration, diarrhea and loss of water (more with salts than
with glycol)– Magnesium can accumulate to toxic levels in renal failure– Sodium can retain fluid – so…. Contraindicated in patients with
heart failure HTN and edema
• Other: glycol (MiraLax) – fewer side effects / safer
![Page 25: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Miscellaneous
• Lactulose (sugar base)– Action / Uses
• Poorly absorbed and cannot be digested – by product of breakdown results in osmotic diuresis
• Enhances excretion of ammonia in liver failure
– SEs – flatulence, cramping
• Glycerin Suppository• Polyethylene Glycol-Electrolyte (GoLytely)
– Safe in dehydrated or electrolyte sensitive
![Page 26: Pharmacology Spring 09 – Unit 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815292550346895dc0b69a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Additional Nursing Implications
• High risk patients– Contraindicated in abdominal pain, nausea,
cramps, regional enteritis, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, acute surgical abdomen, fecal impaction, bowel obstruction.
• Abuse
• Castor oil (powerful stimulant – avoid at night – not to children)
