Resumen
En Terranova y Labrador (Países Bajos) el consumo de opioides recetados fue menor que en Canadá.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Investigación en farmacología y salud pública
- Epidemiología del consumo de medicamentos recetados
Sus antecedentes:
- Comprender el uso de opiáceos recetados es crucial para las iniciativas de salud pública.
- Las tasas de consumo de opioides recetados varían significativamente en las provincias canadienses.
- Los datos específicos de Terranova y Labrador (NL) sobre la prescripción de opiáceos son limitados.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Cuantificar las tasas de consumo de opioides recetados en Terranova y Labrador (Países Bajos) durante un período de cinco años.
- Identificar las principales características demográficas de los pacientes a los que se prescriben opiáceos en Holanda.
- Para comparar las tasas de prescripción de opiáceos de Holanda con las medias nacionales canadienses.
Principales métodos:
- Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que utiliza datos de la red de farmacias basados en la población.
- Criterios de inclusión: pacientes a los que se les recetaron opioides entre el 1 de junio de 2017 y el 1 de junio de 2022, en Holanda.
- Criterios de exclusión: datos incompletos, analgésicos no opiáceos y medicamentos para el trastorno por consumo de opiáceos (buprenorfina, metadona).
Principales resultados:
- Entre el 5,2% y el 11% de la población de Holanda recibieron recetas de opiáceos anualmente entre 2017 y 2022.
- La edad media de los pacientes osciló entre 55 y 58 años, con una mayor prevalencia en las mujeres.
- Los médicos generales fueron los que más recetaron, seguidos por los farmacéuticos y los dentistas.
Conclusiones:
- Las tasas de consumo de opiáceos recetados en Terranova y Labrador (Países Bajos) son más bajas en comparación con las medias nacionales canadienses.
- Este estudio proporciona información fundamental sobre los patrones de prescripción de opiáceos en los Países Bajos.
- Se necesita más investigación para comprender y abordar plenamente el uso de opiáceos y las prácticas de prescripción en la región.

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
360
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

01:12Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data
381
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
419
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...

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
788
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
