Resumo

Alvimopan antagonises peripheral mu-opioid receptors, and patients who have recently taken opioids for more than 7 days are more sensitive to it. This can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Short-term perioperative opioid exposure is not expected to cause a significant interaction.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Alvimopan and Fentanyl are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Competitive antagonism of peripheral mu-opioid receptors by alvimopan.

O que fazer

Do not use alvimopan in patients who have had therapeutic opioid doses for more than 7 consecutive days before starting it. Short-term perioperative use is acceptable.
