Analgesics, Narcotic

Drug that counteract the effects of the narcotic analgesics are the narcotic antagonists. These drugp compete with the narcotics at the receptor sites and are used to reverse the depressant effects of the narcotic analgesics. Both types of drug are discussed in this chapter. [Pg.167]

Opioid analgesics are the narcotic analgesics obtained from the opium plant. More than 20 different alkaloids are obtained from the unripe seed of the opium poppy [Pg.167]

Morphine, when extracted from raw opium and treated chemically, yields the semisynthetic narcotics hydromorphone, oxymorphone, oxycodone, and heroin. Heroin is an illegal narcotic in the United States and is not used in medicine. Synthetic narcotics are those man-made analgesics with properties and actions similar to the natural opioids. Examples of synthetic narcotic analgesics are methadone, levorphanol, remifen-tanil, and meperidine Additional narcotics are listed in the Summary Drug Table Narcotic Analgesics. [Pg.167]

Incorporation of the benzylic carbon of phenylacetic acid into a cyclohexane ring affords an agent whose activity is closely related to that of the narcotic analgesics. This activity is particularly noteworthy for the fact that this structure repre-... [Pg.88]

It is generally accepted that the narcotic analgesics do not in fact interfere with the pain as such rather, these compounds change the perception of the pain. In other words, the patient may come to regard pain with detachment. This very mechanism may be responsible for one of the major drawbacks of the narcotic 286... [Pg.286]

In an extension of this work, Schnider and his colleagues condensed the salt (36) with the Grignard reagent from p-methoxy-benzyi chloride. The product (40), on reduction (41) and cycliza tion, affords the methoxylated morphinan (41). Removal of the methyl ether affords the narcotic analgesic racemorphan (43)... [Pg.293]

A not uncommon side effect observed with morphine and some of the other narcotic analgesics is constipation due to decreased motility of the gastrointestinal tract. It proved possible to so modify pethidine as to retain the side effect at the expense of analgesic activity. Relief of diarrhea, it will be realized, is a far from trivial indication. Alkylation of the anion from diphenylacetonitrile (95) with ethylene dibromide gives the intermediate, 96. Alkylation of normeperidine (81) with that halide... [Pg.302]

The adverse reactions of the narcotic analgesics are discussed extensively in the chapter. Some of the reactions may be less severe or intense than others. [Pg.169]

Classification of the narcotic analgesics is based on their activity at the opioid receptor sites. Although five categories of opioid receptors have been identified, only three of these receptors affect the action of the narcotic... [Pg.169]

The major use of the narcotic analgesic is to relieve or manage moderate to severe acute and chronic pain. The ability of a narcotic analgesic to relieve pain depends on several factors, such as the drug, the dose, the route of administration, the type of pain, the patient, and the length of time the drug has been administered. Morphine is the most widely used opioid and an effective drug for... [Pg.170]

In addition to the relief or management of moderate to severe acute and chronic pain, the narcotic analgesics may be used for the following reasons ... [Pg.170]

The adverse reactions differ according to whetiier die narcotic analgesic acts as an agonist or as an agonist-antagonist. [Pg.171]

One of the major hazards of narcotic administration is respiratory depression, widi a decrease in the respiratory rate and depth. The most common adverse reactions include light-headedness, dizziness, sedation, constipation, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and sweating. When diese effects occur, die primary healdi care provider may lower die dose in an effort to eliminate or decrease die intensity of die adverse reaction. Otiier adverse reactions tiiat may be seen witii die administration of an agonist narcotic analgesic include ... [Pg.171]
