    Study Notes

    Drug Scheduling and Refills

    • Drugs are scheduled based on their potential for abuse, misuse, and addiction.
    • Schedule I drugs have the highest abuse potential and no accepted medical use.
    • Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse and are used medically with strict restrictions on refills. Refills for Schedule II drugs must always be written, and in an emergency, a phoned-in RX within 72 hrs is acceptable (but a new written RX is needed).
    • Schedule III drugs have a moderate abuse potential and are used medically. Refills are allowed up to 5, but can be phoned in or faxed in, and the RX is valid for 6 months.
    • Schedule IV drugs have a low abuse potential and are used medically. Refills are allowed up to 5, but can be phoned in or faxed, and the RX is valid for 6 months.
    • Schedule V drugs have the lowest abuse potential and are used medically. Refills are allowed up to 5, but can be phoned in or faxed, and the RX is valid for 6 months.

    Types of Pain

    • Nociceptive Pain: This type of pain is due to damage to tissues. Examples include arthropathies, ischemic disorders, myalgias, skin and mucosal damage from burns, etc.
    • Neuropathic Pain: Nerve pain, often caused by damage or dysfunction of the nerves. Examples include conditions like neuropathies (alcoholism, diabetes), cancer-related pain, regional pain syndromes, HIV, multiple sclerosis, postherpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and post-CVA pain.
    • Mixed or Undetermined Etiology Pain: A combination of factors, often chronic in nature, with no clear single cause. Examples include chronic recurrent headaches and vasculitis.

    Pain Management in Pregnancy and Lactation

    • First-line pain management during pregnancy and lactation should be non-pharmacological methods.
    • If pharmacological treatment is necessary, opioids should be used at the smallest dose for the shortest time period possible.
    • Opioid use carries increased risks in pregnancy, including neural tube defects, miscarriage, preterm birth, and stillbirth.
    • Opioid use during pregnancy can affect newborns requiring possible resuscitative measures.

    Acetaminophen

    • Maximum adult dose is 4,000mg per day.
    • Risk of toxicity increases for those with certain health conditions, and for those who ingest large amounts.
    • Combination products containing acetaminophen may not be understood by patients, leading to unintentional overdoses.
    • Educate patients on safe usage of this medication, including storage and dosages.

    ###Local Anesthetic Lidocaine

    • Vasovagal response (fainting, nausea, lightheadedness) can occur.
