  • Clinical Use Meperidine is a μ agonist with approximately one-tenth the potency of morphine after intramuscular dose. Meperidine produces the analgesia, respiratory depression, and euphoria caused by other μ opioid agonists, but it causes less constipation and does not inhibit cough. When given orally, meperidine has 40 to 60% bioavailability because of significant first-pass metabolism. Because of the limited bioavailability, it is one-third as potent after an oral dose compared to a parenteral dose. Meperidine has received extensive use in obstetrics because of its rapid onset and short duration of action. When it is given intravenously in small (25-mg) doses during delivery, the respiratory depression in the newborn child is minimized. Meperidine is used as an analgesic in a variety of nonobstetric anesthetic procedures. Meperidine is extensively metabolized in the liver, with only 5% of the drug being excreted unchanged. Prolonged dosage of meperidine may cause an accumulation of the metabolite normeperidine. Normeperidine has only weak analgesic activity, but it causes CNS excitation and can initiate grand mal seizures. It is recommended that meperidine be discontinued in any patient who exhibits signs of CNS excitation. Meperidine has a strong adverse reaction when given to patients receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. This drug interaction has been seen recently in patients with Parkinson's disease taking the monoamine oxidase–selective inhibitor selegiline (Eldepryl). The elimination half-life of meperidine is 3 to 4 hours, and it can double in patients with liver disease. Acidification of the urine will cause enhanced clearance of meperidine, but there is a lesser effect on the clearance of the toxic metabolite normeperidine.
  • Drug interactions Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs Analgesics: possible opioid withdrawal with buprenorphine and pentazocine. Anti-arrhythmics: delayed absorption of mexiletine. Antidepressants: possible CNS excitation or depression with MAOIs and moclobemide - avoid; possibly increased serotonergic effects with duloxetine; increased sedative effects with tricyclics. Antiepileptics: possible increased risk of pethidine toxicity with fosphenytoin and phenytoin. Antihistamines: increased sedative effects with sedating antihistamines. Antipsychotics: enhanced sedative and hypotensive effect. Antivirals: concentration reduced by ritonavir but concentration of toxic pethidine metabolite increased - avoid. Dopaminergics: risk of CNS toxicity with rasagiline - avoid; hyperpyrexia and CNS toxicity reported with selegiline - avoid. Nalmefene: avoid concomitant use. Sodium oxybate: enhanced effect of sodium oxybate - avoid.
