Monitor for signs and symptoms of addiction, abuse and misuse; changes in mood, suicidal thoughts or behaviours, withdrawal symptoms; respiratory and CNS depression; hypogonadism or hypoadrenalism; serotonin syndrome. Monitor pain control, blood pressure and renal function regularly.

Symptoms: Respiratory depression that may progress to Cheyne-Stokes respiration or cyanosis, CNS depression (e.g. extreme somnolence, stupor or coma), CNS excitability (e.g. hallucination, tachycardia), seizures, bradycardia, cold and clammy skin, flaccid skeletal muscle, hypothermia, hypotension. For severe cases, mydriasis, pulmonary oedema, cardiac or respiratory arrest. Management: Symptomatic and supportive care. Provide patent airway with assisted or controlled ventilation, correct electrolyte and fluid imbalances; may perform gastric lavage and induce emesis (oral tab). Naloxone IV is used to reverse opioid effects but should only be given if there is significant respiratory or CV depression.

Additive sedative and respiratory depressive effects with benzodiazepines (e.g. alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam) and other CNS depressants (e.g. chlorpromazine, oxycodone). Increased risk for serotonin syndrome with SSRIs (e.g. escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (e.g. venlafaxine, duloxetine, sibutramine), TCAs (e.g. amitriptyline, clomipramine, imipramine), triptans (e.g. sumatriptan, zolmitriptan, almotriptan), 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (e.g. ondansetron, granisetron) and other drugs affecting serotonin neurotransmitter system (e.g. mirtazapine, tramadol, trazodone). Increased risk of withdrawal syndrome with mixed agonist or antagonist (e.g. butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine) and partial agonist (e.g. buprenorphine) analgesics. May increase the neuromuscular-blocking effect of muscle relaxants (e.g. baclofen, metaxalone). Decreased serum plasma concentration which may precipitate withdrawal syndrome when concurrently administered with CPY3A4 inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampin). May have an increased serum plasma concentration when given with aciclovir and cimetidine. May increase risk for urinary retention and constipation with anticholinergic drugs (e.g. atropine). May decrease the effect of diuretics (e.g. furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide). May reduce the plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of severe respiratory depression and serotonin syndrome if concurrently administered with or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOIs (e.g. isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine). Increased risk of opioid toxicity when concurrently administered with ritonavir.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Pethidine is a phenylpiperidine derivative opioid analgesic. It acts mainly as a mu-receptor agonist. Like most opioid analgesics, it mimics endogenous opioids by activating opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. It reduces the release of neurotransmitter substances and also reduces the activity of postsynaptic neurons in the spinal cord, thus preventing transmission of the pain impulse.
Synonym: meperidine. Onset: Analgesia: 10-15 minutes (oral, IM, SC); approx 1-5 minutes (IV). Duration: Analgesia: Approx 2-4 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Rapidly absorbed after IM or SC inj. Bioavailability: Oral: Approx 50-60%; IM: Approx 80-85% (erratic and variable). Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 1-2 hours (oral); 45 minutes (IM/SC). Distribution: Crosses the placenta, enters breast milk and present in CSF. Plasma protein binding: Approx 30-80% (variable). Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver via hydrolysis into pethidinic acid or via N-demethylation into norpethidine then via hydrolysis into norpethidinic acid and subsequently, via partial conjugation with glucuronic acid. Excretion: Via urine (mainly as metabolites, approx 5% as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: Approx 3-6 hours (as unchanged drug): up to 20 hours (as norpethidine).
