Opioid Analgesics and Antagonists 1 (Opioid Receptor Agonists) Flashcards
(12 cards)
What is Codeine used for?
Analgesic for mild pain
Codeine decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What are the components of Lomotil?
Diphenoxylate + Atropine
Lomotil is an antidiarrheal that inhibits GI tract movement and secretions.
What is Fentanyl classified as?
Short acting analgesic for severe pain
Fentanyl is lipophilic and a narcotic.
What is Hydrocodone w/APAP used for?
Analgesic for severe pain
It is a narcotic that decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What is the primary use of Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)?
Analgesic for severe pain
Hydromorphone is a narcotic that decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What is Loperamide (Imodium) used for?
Antidiarrheal
Loperamide is a meperidine analog with low abuse potential.
What is Meperidine (Demerol) primarily used for?
Analgesic for severe pain
It causes less miosis than morphine and has an active metabolite.
What is Morphine classified as?
Analgesic for severe pain
Morphine is a narcotic that decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What is Oxycodone (Oxycontin) used for?
Analgesic for severe pain
It is a narcotic that decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What is Propoxyphene (Darvon) used for?
Analgesic for mild pain
It decreases cAMP, decreases Ca influx, and increases K efflux.
What type of pain is Tramadol (Ultram) used to treat?
Moderate pain
Tramadol is a μ-opioid receptor agonist.
