Use has decreased from 2002, but plateaued beginning in

Marijuana, prescription pain relievers, and cocaine remain
the main issues of concern1,2

460 people aged 12 or over start using heroin every day
Mortality has increased since 2000
Use remains below 0.3% of the 12 or over population2
Strong association between NMPR and past year initiation
of heroin
Recent use of heroin was 19 times higher for those with
NMPR use
Although gateway theory is supported, most NMPR users
do not progress to heroin use3

Urine Drug Testing (UDT) Rationale
Urine Drug Testing (UDT) Rationale
• Supports justification for closer monitoring
• Guidelines recommend UDT as standard of care when (more frequent visits / lab monitoring)
•
prescribing chronic opioid therapy, especially for CNCP1‐5
• Helps to ensure compliance and mitigate risk1‐5
Supports behavior modification and referral to
psychologist
• Detects presence of illicit substances
• Detects absence of prescribed medication
Potential Pitfalls6-8
• Helps to justify continual prescriptions
• Patient reliability to report compliance, use and misuse is
• Supports clinician decision to discontinue controlled substance dubious and often poor
• Behavior alone is unreliable for identifying patients at risk
medication non-compliance, abuse, misuse, and diversion

Dr. Smith
Positive amphetamine is plausible because I am prescribing carbidopa which Unitel lists as false positive. The patient may be taking an unprescribed opioid and benzodiazepine, as indicated by Urintel below. The other unexpected results are possible because of prescribed medications.

33% of abuser of original formulation continued to abuse new
33% of abusers of original changed drugs
5% indicated new influenced decision to stop abusing drugs
• Most who continued abusing either changed to oral route
effort between state agencies and communities
or defeated the abuse-deterrent mechanism
• 70% who switched drugs turned to heroin

statistically significant change in overall opioid market3
Hwang and colleagues13:
– Percentage of nonmedical use of prescription opioids decreased
– High-risk measures increased
– No decreases in intensity outcomes from 2011 to 2013
• “Until we deal with the demand side of the epidemic, we
– Large portion of opioid abusers use oral route which abusedeterrent opioids do not effect
– New agents may cause practitioners to have a false sense of
security in prescribing new formulations

– water-soluble/swellable cellulose derivatives
• polyethylene oxide, gums, clays and polyacid
carbomers
–consequential increase in solution viscosity
–drug trapping in a gel-like substance
»prevents syringe extraction for
intravenous use
51
Viscosity Management (continued)
– physical and chemical process by which one substance becomes
attached to another. Options include…
1. ion-exchange resins to bind and trap free drug if tamper
attempted
2. drug already attached to crush-resistant resin particles
– prevents rapid release of the drug in common, extraction
solvents
3. Modification of solubility (temperature, pH, particle size and
solvent)
– To affect drug’s absorption
» Example: meglumine, a basic solubilizing agent
» in the presence of methadone, can increase the pH
causing methadone to precipitate out rendering it
more difficult for extraction for oral liquid or injection

Other In vivo Options
Modifying Drug Favorability
Inactive prodrug mitigates against…
– Parenteral
– Nasal
– Smoking
• Pharmacokinetic advantages…
– Extends time to peak
• Possibly lessen the euphoric effects
Enzyme inhibitors
– Inhibit or slow the transformation to drug to active metabolite
Sequestered metabolic blocking agents
– Released upon administration of a tampered product
• deter abuse by crushing or chewing for snorting or parenteral
administration
• Advantage over antagonist formulations, blunted immediate
withdrawal

• Oxecta has 2 unique abuse deterrent properties
– Sodium lauryl sulfate - snorting becomes unpleasant
– Excipient results in gel formation with attempt to dissolve
• Previous to Oxecta
– Acurox
• Oxycodone + niacin
• Other Aversive Options
– constituents that trigger unpleasant and very noxious SEs
• laxatives (ex. bisacodyl, casanthanol, senna), nauseants (zinc
salts, ipecac, cephaeline), bittering agents (ex. menthol,
eucalyptus oil, denatonium benzoate, denatonium saccharide),
and mucous membrane irritants (resiniferatoxin, olvanil, sodium
lauryl sulfate)

Right Drug for the Right Patient
• Choosing the proper patient for an abuse-deterrent product
may not be straightforward
• Choice may be based more on who is most likely to abuse
Patient Selection
opioids
• Characteristics associated with high nonmedical use or use
disorders (Han 2015):
Dr. Shellie Keast
–
–
–

–
Sedative use disorders
Other substance disorders (nicotine, etc)
Disabled for work
Medicaid as primary insurance
Depression, mental health diagnoses

Right Drug for the Right Patient
•
•
•
•
•
Incorporate risk assessment tools before prescribing
Perform frequent Urine Drug Testing
Utilization of PDMP monitoring systems by all providers
Have a plan to discontinue opioids prior to initiation
Pain management patient contracts
Manipulating the ADF
– http://www.aafp.org/fpm/2001/1100/fpm20011100p47-rt1.pdf
– Provide structure, support, and monitoring1
And Altered Pharmacokinetics
Dr. Jeffrey Fudin
• Know the demographics and abuse rates in your practice
area
• Remember that abuse-deterrent opioids can still be abused
by oral route of administration

Key Points

• Nonmedical use of pain relievers continues to be an

•

important medical and societal problem.
Abuse-deterrent formulations are being developed to
“meaningfully deter abuse” through non-oral routes.
Patients with increase substance abuse risk include male
gender, family and/or personal hx substance abuse,
smoker, alcoholism, PTSD, schizophrenia
National and state entities are actively involved in efforts to
curb misuse
Current research into abuse-deterrent formulations indicate
some decrease in non-oral misuse, but heroin use may be
increasing
ADF’s do not prevent abuse; they mitigate risks
• Selecting the right patient for these formulations is
challenging – planning and monitoring are the key
• ADF’s are not created equal
–
–
–
–
Some deter abuse by injecting oral formulations
Some deter abuse by snorting
Some deter dose-dumping when ingested with alcohol
All can be taken in large quantities and cause death
• Newer formulation on the way may overcome this
