General-Consider adding naloxone Rx. Pulmonary-Life threatening respiratory depression risk with high doses, cachexia, or debilitation due to altered pharmacokinetics (poor fat stores, muscle wasting, or altered clearance). Monitor closely at initiation and dose titration. Neuro/Psych-Risk for increased confusion and delirium. May increase fall risk. Avoid treatment with 3 or more CNS active drugs. Gastrointestinal-Constipation risk. Urogenital-Urinary retention risk.
Cardiovascular-Elderly are more sensitive to tachycardia and hypertensive effects. May exacerbate symptomatic coronary insufficiency. Genitourinary-May cause urinary retention. Neuro/Psych-May worsen cognitive impairment in some elderly with dementia. Insomnia risk.
