まとめ
ナロキソンの処方パターンは様々で,退役軍人の多くは4mgよりも8mgの投与を受けた. 薬剤師は処方箋をリードし,オピオイドの過剰摂取に対するナロキソン投与に関する明確な臨床ガイドラインの必要性を強調しました.
科学分野:
- 薬理学について
- 公衆衛生
- 臨床薬局
背景:
- ナロキソンはオピオイドの過剰投与の主な解毒剤で,鼻内製剤が頻繁に使用されます.
- オピオイドの過剰投与の回復の3分の1以上は,4 mgのナロキソンの多重投与を必要とする.
- 4 mgから8 mgの鼻内ナロキソン製品の好ましい用量については,限られたガイドラインがあります.
研究 の 目的:
- ベテラン・ヘルス・インディアナ (VHI) でナロキソン4mgと8mgの処方パターンを分析し,比較する.
- 処方者,診療所の種類,および指示に基づくナロキソン用量処方における違いを特定する.
主な方法:
- 2022年4月から2023年4月までのVHIでのナロキソン処方 (4mgおよび8mg) の遡及レビュー
- 収集されたデータには,処方量の量,患者の再充填歴,処方者の規律,診療所の種類,ナロキソンに対する指示が含まれていた.
- 2つのナロキソン用量の処方パターンの比較に焦点を当てた.
主要な成果:
- 101人の退役軍人が含まれており,53. 5%がナロキソン8 mg,41. 6%が4 mg,4. 9%が両方の投与を受けた.
- 薬剤師が最も多く処方箋を出しており,看護師や医師が次いでいます.
- 処方箋は主に慢性的なオピオイド使用,オピオイド使用障害,および薬物使用障害で,しばしばオピオイドリスク管理のための階層化ツールイニシアチブに関連していました.
結論:
- 明確な用量ガイドラインがないため,鼻内ナロキソンの処方方法が異なっています.
- 処方箋は,医療提供者,診療所,患者様によって大きく異なります.
- ナロキソンの投与量を標準化するには,臨床ガイドラインと施設特有の勧告が必要である.

Opioid 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...

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.

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...

Opioid 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...

Analgesia 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...

Additional Routes of Drug Administration

Choosing the appropriate route of drug administration is significantly influenced by two key factors: the therapeutic objectives and the inherent properties of the drug being used.
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...
