Generic Name: oxycodone (Oral route)
ox-i-KOE-done hye-droe-KLOR-ide
Oxycodone hydrochloride is an opioid agonist and a Schedule II controlled substance with an abuse potential similar to morphine. Patients should be assessed for their clinical risks for opioid abuse or addiction prior to being prescribed opioids. Oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release tablets are indicated for continuous, around the clock analgesia for an extended period of time; not for use on an as needed basis. The 60 mg and 80 mg tablets, a single dose greater than 40 mg, or a total daily dose greater than 80 mg, are only for use in opioid-tolerant patients as they may cause fatal respiratory depression when administered to patients who are not tolerant to the respiratory depressant effects of opioids. Oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release tablets must be swallowed whole to avoid a rapid release of the drug which can be potentially fatal. Concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in an increase in oxycodone plasma concentrations and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression .

Therapeutic Class: Analgesic
Chemical Class: Oxycodone
Oxycodone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). Oxycodone acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
When oxycodone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of oxycodone in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of oxycodone in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver or kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving oxycodone.
