Diampromide
Diampromide is a potent opioid analgesic drug, which is a derivative of phenylpiperidine. It is primarily used in the treatment of severe pain, such as that experienced by patients with terminal cancer. Diampromide is not commonly used due to its high potential for addiction and dependence.
Pharmacology
Diampromide acts on the mu-opioid receptor, which is primarily responsible for the drug's analgesic effects. It also has some activity at the kappa-opioid receptor, which can contribute to its analgesic and sedative effects. Diampromide is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine.
Side Effects
The side effects of Diampromide are similar to those of other opioids and can include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and respiratory depression. Long-term use can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms upon cessation of use.
Legal Status
In many countries, Diampromide is a controlled substance due to its high potential for abuse and addiction. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
