Opioids-Risk Factors to Consider› Age

› Race

› Gender

› Geo Location of Adverse Drug Event

› Hx of opioid intoxication/overdose; substance abuse or nonmedical opioid use

› Opioid transition (risk of incomplete cross-tolerance)

› Smoker, COPD, Obstructive Apnea Syndrome, Asthma; Obesity; Renal, Hepatic, Cardiac disease; HIV (+)

› Use of: EtOH, benzodiazepines, sedatives, skeletal muscle relaxants, antidepressants, antihistamines

› Use of >50 mg po morphine milligram equivalents (MME); recent increase in dose?

› Methadone/Buprenorphine Rx for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

› Recent substance abuse treatment?

› Recent incarceration?

› Naloxone administered?

› File in a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (SCRIPTS)?

› OUD hx does not “impart immunity” to designer opioids

Treating Pain Safely

Acute versus Chronic Pain

ACUTE PAIN

› Less than 3 months duration

› Acute tissue injury

CHRONIC PAIN› Lasts longer than 3 months

› Difficult to determine exact source

Sensory – Tissue InputAffective – EmotionsCognitive - Thoughts

WHEN WE FIRST BEGIN TO USE OPIOIDS……

NALOXONE USE

Prescriptions doubled between 2017-2018

Estimated that for every 70 Rx’s for high-dose opioid therapy, only 1 Rx for naloxone is being dispensed

Source: National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA)

Candidates for Naloxone› History of opioid intoxication/overdose or substance use disorder

› Current use (or history) of illicit or nonmedical opioid use

› Methadone or buprenorphine use (MAT for OUD)

› Use of 50 mg oral morphine or MME daily, or long acting opioid

› Opioid therapy transition (due to incomplete cross-tolerance)

› Opioid Rx in Presence Of– Smoker, respiratory compromise (COPD, sleep apnea, asthma)

– Renal, hepatic, cardiac disease– HIV/AIDS

– Ethanol, Benzodiazepine, Sedative, Skeletal Muscle Relaxant, Antidepressant use

› Those who request it

› Those who live in remote locations

Naloxone Rescue- Adverse Effects?› Confusion

› Headache

› Gastrointestinal problems

› Aggressiveness

› Tachycardia

› Shivering

› Diaphoresis

› Tremor

› Seizures

› Naloxone sensitivity

› Cardiac arrest

› Pulmonary edema

› Renarcotization

1. Symptoms presumed to be due to naloxone result from opioid withdrawal

2. Long term drug misuse/abuse may increase likelihood of ADE due to underlying morbidity-not naloxone ADE

1 mg naloxone blocks 25 mg heroin for 1 hour

1 mg naloxone blocks 50% of μ receptors

50% of μ receptors must be blocked to reverse OD

2 mg naloxone blocks 80% of μ receptors

Case Study All Too Common

Case Study “Poor Man’s Methadone”

Loperamide› Oral opioid-like agent› Anti-secretory effect and decreased gut motility› Poor blood-brain barrier penetration → lacks CNS effects (tx)

› Dosing– LD: 4 mg followed by 2 mg q episode of diarrhea– Max Dose: 12 mg/day x 48 h or 16 mg/day x 5 days– Abuse: reports of up to 800 mg/day

› Tx-insignificant accumulation in the systemic circulation

› “Super doses”→ CNS accumulation/abuse/dependence

› [Blood] = 1-3 ng/mL (tx)

› [Blood] > 10-1000 ng/mL (toxic/lethal)

› Toxicity → Cardiotoxin → Dysrhythmias → Arrhythmias – QT Interval– Torsades de Pointes Normal 400 ms

Abnormal > 450 ms

Loperamide Opiate Withdrawal Protocol› Day 1: Take 400 mg of cimetidine followed by 24-30 mg of

loperamide or less washed down with a glass of grapefruit juice (GFJ) every 5-8 hours, or as needed.

› Day 2: Take 400 mg of cimetidine followed by 20 mg of loperamide every 5-8 hours, or as needed, all washed down with GFJ.

› Day 3: Take 400 mg of cimetidine followed by 18 mg of loperamide every 5-8 hours, or as needed, all washed down with GFJ.

› Day 4: Begin to lower your loperamide dosage by half, but continue to take with 400 mg of cimetidine and wash down with GFJ.

What is kratom?

› Mitragyna speciosa is a tropical evergreen tree from SE Asia native to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea

› kratom, the original name used in Thailand, is a member of the Rubiaceae family (includes coffee and gardenia)

› Leaf veins greenish-white or red (possible difference in potency)

› Principle psychoactives

Mitragynine

7-OH-mitragynine

Routes of Administration› Leaves used by

Thai/Malaysian natives and workers for centuries

› May be chewed or a tea is prepared from boiling the leaves

› Leaves are also dried and smoked; placed into capsules or made into extracts

Dose Dependent-Pharmacological Effects› High dose – Opioid-like respiratory depression and euphoria

Mitragynine and 7-OH-mitragynine Interact with opioid receptors (CNS) Sedation, pleasure, decreased pain

› Low dose – CNS stimulation (coca-like)Mitragynine also interacts with other receptorsIncreased energy, sociability, mental alertness

› Uses: chronic pain, opioid withdrawal, mild stimulation

Initial Onset: 10-20 minutesPeak Effects: up to 2 hoursDuration: 5-7 hours
