Naloxone

Abstract: Naloxone hydrochloride, a synthetic N-allyl derivative of oxymorphone, is an effective agent for the reversal of the cardiovascular and respiratory depression associated with narcotic and possibly some non-narcotic overdoses. It is essentially a pure narcotic antagonist, is relatively safe, and is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic agent. Due to naloxone's pharmacokinetic profile, a continuous infusion protocol is recommended when prolonged narcotic antagonist effects are required. The complex pharmacodynamic… Show more

“…NLX has been incorporated into many fi rst-responder's emergency medical kits. Along with oxygen and dextrose 50 %, NLX should be given to any unconscious patient regardless of age when a drug overdose is suspected [ 21 ]. NLX is a potent opiate antagonist for the three opiate receptors -μ , κ , and σ receptors [ 22 ].…”

“…Vanligvis gis nalokson intravenøst eller intramuskulaert og virketiden er omtrent 3 til 4 timer (halveringstid på 70 minutter). Nalokson fortrenger opioid-agonister ved opioid reseptorene og reverserer effektivt opioid forgiftning inklusive respirasjonsstans, sedasjon og lavt blodtrykk (2).…”

“…It has a high affinity for the l receptor and a lesser affinity for j and d receptors. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and is well absorbed following oral administration, where it undergoes hepatic metabolism with a low oral bioavailability of < 2% [14] This poor oral bioavailability limits any beneficial effects when administered orally in standard preparation and dosages. In theory, orally administered high doses of naloxone should be devoid of 'central' CNS-type effects while exerting an inhibitor effect on the 'peripheral' gastrointestinal system at the myenteric plexus in the gut, where l receptors are primarily located.…”
