Our study was in disagreement with the results of Alhashemi and Daghistani [16] who used
meperidine as an analgesic.
After 30 minutes of balance period, concentration-related inhibitory effects on spontaneous contractions of morphine and
meperidine were observed by administering agents to the organ baths in a cumulatively increasing manner from [10.sup.-8] to [10.sup.-4] [M] (mol [Lsup.-1], molar).
(20) In addition,
meperidine can be used with buspirone and dexmedetomidine to synergistically lower the shivering threshold.
A statistical trend was observed with hypertension (OR 0.44, 95% CI=0.17-1.15, p=0.095) and with the use of
meperidine for sedation (OR=1.82, 95% CI 0.96-3.42, p=0.063) (Table 2).
Memis and colleagues (2010) stipulated 1 gram of IV acetaminophen in addition to
meperidine versus
meperidine alone with normal saline as the placebo for the intervention group.
Effects of
meperidine spinal anesthesia on hemodynamics, plasma catecholamines, angiotensin I, aldosterone, and histamine concentrations in elderly men.
Data for this study for the years 1999-2013 were obtained by special request to the DEA and included distribution for these eight prescription opioid drugs: codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, hydromorphone,
meperidine, methadone, morphine, and oxycodone.
COMMON OPIODS Generic Brand Name Hydrocodone Vicodin, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco Zohydro Oxycodone Percocet,OxyContin, Roxicodone Percodan Morphine MSContin, Kadian, Embeda Avinza Codeine Tyeo, Tylenol #3 Fentanyl Duragesic Hydromorphone Dilaudid Oxymorphone Opana
Meperidine Demerol Methadone Dolophine,Methadose Signs of an opioid overdose include Slow or shallow breathing, blue or gray lips and fingernails, pale and/or clammy skin, unable to wake up or respond.
Although additional analyses were performed stratified by specific opioid product (codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone,
meperidine), as might be expected, the most commonly used products (codeine and hydrocodone) were linked to a greater number of elevated ORs for specific defects.
Saadawy et al tried various drugs like ketamine, thiopentone,
meperidine and lignocaine.
To the Editor:
Meperidine, also known as pethidine, is one of the most commonly prescribed opioid analgesics.
These medications include general and local anesthetics, antibiotics such as penicillin and metronidazole, asthma drugs including aminophylline and theophylline, immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, and narcotics such as fentanyl and
meperidine.
