Pain Control Notes
Agonists
Binds to an opioid pain receptor in the brain and causes an analgesic response
oThe reduction of pain sensation
Mild agonists
Codine
Hydro-codone
Strong agonists
Morphine
Hydromorphone
Oxycodone
Meperidine
Agonist-antagonist
Also called a partial agonist or a mixed agonist
Binds to a pain receptor and causes a weaker pain response than a full agonist
oSometimes used in obstetric patients
oIncludes acetaminophen and nalbuphine
Antagonist
Binds to a pain receptor but does not reduce pain signals
Functions as a competitive antagonist because it competes with and reverse the effects
of agonist and agonist-antagonist drugs at their receptor sites
Opioids
Very strong pain relievers
Characterized by their mechanism of action
Abuse and addiction can occur
Adverse effects
Overdoses of acetaminophen can cause kidney damage, liver damage, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, and rash
