Download – Opioid Pharmacology

Opioid drugs are widely used as moderate to strong analgesic agents. The pharmacokinetic properties of different agents determine their analgesic and side effect profiles. Many agents that have fallen from favour in more developed countries are still widely used in poorly-resourced settings and so knowledge of their advantages and disadvantages is essential.
