Voltammetric Oxidation of Drugs of Abuse II. Codeine and Metabolites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The oxidation of codeine on glassy carbon electrodes has been studied in detail using differential pulse voltammetry. The results obtained using a glassy carbon electrode clearly show a much more complex oxidation mechanism than that previously reported ...

Postmortem tissue distribution of morphine and its metabolites in a series of heroin related deaths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The abuse of heroin (diamorphine) and heroin deaths are growing around the world. The interpretation of the toxicological results from suspected heroin deaths is notoriously difficult especially in cases where there may be limited samples.

Cough, codeine and confusion [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2015
Codeine is widely prescribed in clinical practice with over the counter (OTC) preparations of codeine freely available for consumption typically as a component of remedies for the common cold/cough. We describe the first reported case of acute confusional state in a previously healthy 14-year-old girl ultimately attributed to inappropriate codeine use.

A look inside the association codeine-paracetamol: clinical pharmacology supports analgesic efficacy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Acute and chronic pain often requires a multimodal approach. Combination therapy reduces the number of individual daily administrations and improves patient's compliance with the prescribed analgesic treatment. Despite the association codeine/paracetamol

Pharmacogenetics of analgesic drugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
• Individual variability in pain perception and differences in the efficacy of analgesic drugs are complex phenomena and are partly genetically predetermined.

Laxatives do not improve symptoms of opioid-induced constipation: results of a patient survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Introduction: Laxatives are commonly used to treat opioid-induced constipation, the commonest and most bothersome complication of opioids. However, laxatives have a non-specific action and do not target underlying mechanisms of opioid-induced ...

CODEINE ANALGESIA IS DUE TO CODEINE‐6‐GLUCURONIDE, NOT MORPHINE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Clinical Practice, 2000
SUMMARYEighty per cent of codeine is conjugated with glucuronic acid to codeine‐6‐glucuronide. Only 5% of the dose is O‐demethylated to morphine, which in turn is immediately glucuronidated at the 3‐ and 6‐ position and excreted renally. Based on the structural requirement of the opiate molecule for interaction with the μ‐receptor to result in ...

Pharmacogenetics : the science of predictive clinical pharmacology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The study of pharmacogenetics has expanded from what were initially casual family-based clinical drug response observations, to a fully-fledged science with direct therapeutic applications, all within a time-span of less than 60 years. A wide spectrum of

Diclofenac does not interact with codeine metabolism in vivo: A study in healthy volunteers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
BACKGROUND: Previously, we have demonstrated a marked inhibition of codeine glucuronidation by diclofenac in human liver tissue homogenate. We therefore aimed to investigate whether diclofenac inhibits glucuronidation of codeine also in vivo in healthy ...
