Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection, and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

The parenteral route is a critical method of drug administration. It delivers compounds directly into the systemic circulation and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This approach is particularly advantageous for drugs that exhibit poor absorption or instability when administered orally.
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...

Drug Delivery: Overview

Drug Delivery: Overview

The selection of a drug's delivery route depends upon its physicochemical properties, including lipid or water solubility and ionization, as well as the therapeutic requirement, such as immediate or sustained effect. These routes can be divided into three primary categories: enteral, parenteral, and topical.
Enteral delivery involves administering drugs directly through swallowing, sublingual placement, or buccal application. Orally administered drugs predominantly navigate the...

The Formulary Monograph Service provides monthly drug monographs for Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committees, including new drug reviews and drug utilization evaluations. This service aids in informed medication management and formulary decisions.

Area of Science:

Pharmaceutical Sciences
Clinical Pharmacy
Health Services Research

Background:

Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committees require timely and comprehensive drug information.
New drug approvals and late-stage clinical trials necessitate ongoing evaluation of medication use.
Effective drug utilization evaluation (DUE) and medication use evaluation (MUE) are critical for patient safety and cost-effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the features and content of The Formulary Monograph Service.
To highlight the utility of the service for healthcare professionals involved in formulary management and medication use.
To inform potential subscribers about the scope of information provided, including drug monographs, summary monographs, and DUE/MUEs.

The service delivers 5-6 detailed monographs on new or late-phase trial drugs monthly.

One-page summary monographs are provided for pharmacy and nursing in-services.

Comprehensive drug utilization evaluation/medication use evaluation (DUE/MUE) studies are included monthly.

A monthly drug class review is also a feature of the service.

Main Results:

Subscribers receive print and online access to monographs.
Monographs can be customized to specific facility needs.
January 2016 topics included idarucizumab, patiromer, coagulation factor VIII/antihemophilic factor (recombinant), cariprazine, and trifluridine and tipiracil.
