“Alfentanil is a synthetic opioid with μ-opioid receptor agonist activity.”
“The terminal elimination half-life is 90-111 minutes (range 50-150 minutes), which is significantly faster than for fentanyl.”
“Alfentanil is metabolised mainly via the human cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme. Available human pharmacokinetic data indicate that the metabolism of alfentanil may be inhibited by fluconazole, voriconazole, erythromycin, diltiazem and cimetidine (known cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme inhibitors).”
