Pharmacokinetics
- bioavailability 62%
- metabolized in the liver
- elimination in the urine as glucuronides
- cleared by hemodialysis
- elimination 1/2 life of 3-4 hours
elimination via liver
1/2life = 1.5-4 hours
protein binding = 14 %
Adverse effects
- common (> 10%)
- less common (1-10%)
- shortness of breath, troubled breathing, tachycardia, weakness, tiredness, bradycardia, flushing of the face, trembling, decreased urination, dry mouth, stomach cramps,headache, nausea/vomiting, nervousness, restlessness, ureteral spasm
- uncommon (< 1%)
- skin rash, hives, hallucinations, mental depression, paralytic ileus
- other
- increased all-cause mortality after 180 days of exposure[10]
- drug adverse effects of opiates
- drug adverse effects of psychotropic agents
- drug adverse effects of sedatives
Drug interactions
- CNS depressants
- phenothiazines
- tricyclic antidepressants (TCA)
- alcohol in combination
- increased CNS depression
- increased release of Palladone resulting in high serum & tissue levels leading to overdose (marketing & sales suspended)[5]
- drug interaction(s) of benzodiazepine with opiates
- drug interaction(s) of antidepressant with opiates
- drug interaction(s) of Z-drugs with opiates
- drug interaction(s) of alcoholic beverage with opiates
- drug interaction(s) of pregabalin with opiates
- drug interaction(s) of gabapentin with opiates
