oxycodone hydrochloride/naloxone hydrochloride
Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.
Contents of the pack
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is a prolonged-release tablet, which means that the active substances are released over a longer period of time. Its effect lasts 12 hours.
These tablets are for use in adults only.
Pain relief
You have been prescribed Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva for the treatment of severe pain, which can only be adequately managed with opioid analgesics.
Naloxone hydrochloride is added to counteract constipation.
How Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva works for pain relief
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva contains the active substances oxycodone hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride. Oxycodone hydrochloride is responsible for the analgesic effect of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva and is a potent analgesic belonging to the group of medicines called opioids.
The second active substance of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, naloxone hydrochloride, has the function of counteracting constipation. Intestinal dysfunction (e.g. constipation) is a common side effect of treatment with opioid analgesics.
Do not take Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
Contact your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, nausea, vomiting, or fever, as these may be symptoms associated with pancreatitis or biliary tract disorders.
Sleep-related breathing disorders
Oxicodona/naloxona may cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood).
Symptoms may include pauses in breathing during sleep, nighttime awakenings due to difficulty breathing, difficulty maintaining sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness. If you or someone else observes these symptoms, consult your doctor. Your doctor may consider reducing the dose.
Tell your doctor if you have had any of these diseases in the past. Also, inform your doctor if you develop any of them during treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
The most serious consequence of opioid overdose is respiratory depression(slow and shallow breathing). This can also cause a decrease in oxygen concentration in the blood, which can lead to fainting, etc.
Diarrhea
If you experience severe diarrhea at the start of treatment, it may be due to the effect of naloxone. It may be a sign that intestinal function is returning to normal. This diarrhea may occur in the first 3 to 5 days of treatment. If the diarrhea persists beyond this 3 to 5-day period, or if you are concerned, contact your doctor.
Switching to Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
If you have been receiving another opioid, you may experience withdrawal symptoms shortly after starting treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, such as restlessness, sweating, and muscle pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need special monitoring by your doctor.
Tolerance, dependence, and addiction
This medicine contains oxycodone, which is an opioid. It can cause dependence and/or addiction.
This medicine contains oxycodone, which is an opioid medicine. Repeated use of opioid analgesics can make the medicine less effective (you get used to it, which is known as tolerance). Repeated use of oxycodone/naloxone can also cause dependence, abuse, and addiction, which can lead to a life-threatening overdose. The risk of these side effects may increase with higher doses and longer treatment duration.
Dependence or addiction can make you feel that you no longer have control over the amount of medicine you need to take or how often you need to take it. You may feel that you need to continue taking the medicine even when it no longer helps to relieve your pain or restless legs syndrome.
The risk of becoming dependent or addicted varies from person to person. You may have a higher risk of becoming dependent or addicted to oxycodone/naloxone:
If you notice any of the following signs while taking oxycodone/naloxone, it could be a sign that you have become dependent or addicted.
If you notice any of these signs, talk to your doctor to discuss the best treatment for you, including when it is appropriate to stop taking it and how to do it safely (see section 3, "If you stop taking oxycodone/naloxone").
Advanced digestive or pelvic cancer
Tell your doctor if you have cancer associated with peritoneal metastasis or initial intestinal obstruction in advanced stages of digestive and pelvic cancers.
Surgery
If you need to undergo surgery, tell the doctors that you are taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
Effect on hormone production
Like other opioids, oxycodone can affect the normal production of hormones in the body, such as cortisol or sex hormones, especially if high doses are taken for long periods. If you notice persistent symptoms such as malaise (including vomiting), loss of appetite, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, changes in menstrual cycle, impotence, infertility, or decreased sexual desire, consult your doctor so that they can monitor your hormone levels.
Hypersensitivity to pain
This medicine may increase your sensitivity to pain, especially at high doses. Tell your doctor if this happens. It may be necessary to reduce the dose or change the medicine.
Remnants in feces
You may observe remnants of the prolonged-release tablet in your feces. Do not be alarmed, as the active substances (oxycodone hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride) have already been released in the stomach and intestine and absorbed by your body.
Incorrect use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is not suitable for the treatment of withdrawal symptoms.
The prolonged-release tablet can be divided into equal doses but must not be chewed or crushed.
Taking chewed or crushed tablets can lead to the absorption of a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone hydrochloride (see section 3 "If you take more Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva than you should").
Abuse
Never abuse Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, especially if you have a history of drug addiction. If you are addicted to substances such as heroin, morphine, or methadone, you may experience severe withdrawal symptoms if you misuse oxycodone/naloxone, as it contains naloxone. It can worsen pre-existing withdrawal symptoms.
Misuse
Never dissolve the prolonged-release tablets of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva to inject them (e.g. into a blood vessel). In particular, they contain talc, which can cause local tissue destruction (necrosis) and changes in lung tissue (pulmonary granuloma). This abuse can also have other serious consequences and even lead to death.
Doping
The use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva may result in positive doping tests.
The use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva as a doping agent can endanger your health.
Taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva with other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
The risk of side effects increases if you use antidepressants (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine). These medicines can interact with oxycodone and may cause symptoms such as involuntary muscle contractions, agitation, excessive sweating, tremors, exaggerated reflexes, increased muscle tension, and body temperature above 38°C. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
The concomitant use of opioids, including oxycodone hydrochloride, and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and can be life-threatening. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.
However, if your doctor prescribes Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva with sedative medicines, your doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.
Tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking and follow the recommended doses carefully. It may be useful to inform friends or family members who are aware of the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor when you experience these symptoms. Some examples of sedative medicines or related medicines are:
If you take these tablets at the same time as other medicines, the effects of the tablets or the other medicines described below may change. Tell your doctor if you are taking:
No interactions are expected between Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva and paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid, or naltrexone.
Taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva with food, drink, and alcohol
Drinking alcohol while taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva can make you feel more drowsy or increase the risk of serious side effects such as shallow breathing with the risk of stopping breathing, and loss of consciousness. It is recommended not to drink alcohol while taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva should be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor thinks that treatment with this medicine is essential. If used during prolonged periods of pregnancy, oxycodone hydrochloride may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. If oxycodone hydrochloride is administered during labor, the newborn may experience respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing).
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva. Oxycodone hydrochloride passes into breast milk. It is not known if naloxone hydrochloride also passes into breast milk. Therefore, the risk to the breastfed child cannot be excluded, especially if the mother receives multiple doses of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
Driving and using machines
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva can affect your ability to drive and use machines, as it can cause drowsiness or dizziness. This occurs especially at the start of treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, after a dose increase, or after switching from another medicine. However, these side effects disappear once the dose of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is established.
This medicine has been associated with drowsiness and sudden sleep episodes. If you experience these side effects, you should not drive or operate machinery. You should inform your doctor if this happens.
Ask your doctor if you can drive or use machines.
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet, which is essentially "sodium-free".
Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.
Before starting treatment and periodically during treatment, your doctor will discuss with you what you can expect from the use of oxicodona/naloxona, when and for how long you should take it, when to contact your doctor, and when you should stop taking it (see also "If you stop treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva")
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is a prolonged-release tablet, which means that the active ingredients are released over a prolonged period. Its action lasts 12 hours.
The prolonged-release tablet can be divided into equal doses but should not be chewed or crushed.
Taking chewed or crushed tablets can lead to the absorption of a potentially lethal dose of oxicodona hydrochloride (see section 3 "If you take more Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva than you should").
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, the usual dose is:
To treat pain
Adults
The usual initial dose is 10 mg of oxicodona hydrochloride/5 mg of naloxona hydrochloride in prolonged-release tablets every 12 hours.
Your doctor will decide the dose of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva you should take per day and how to divide it into morning and evening doses. Your doctor will also decide if it is necessary to adjust the dose during treatment. Your dose will be adapted to your degree of pain and individual sensitivity. You should receive the minimum dose necessary to relieve pain. If you have already received treatment with opioids, the initial dose of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva may be higher.
The maximum daily dose is 160 mg of oxicodona hydrochloride and 80 mg of naloxona hydrochloride. If you need a higher dose, your doctor may prescribe more oxicodona hydrochloride without naloxona hydrochloride. However, the maximum daily dose of oxicodona hydrochloride should not exceed 400 mg.
The beneficial effect of naloxona hydrochloride on intestinal activity may be affected if the dose of oxicodona hydrochloride is increased without increasing the dose of naloxona hydrochloride.
If you replace Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva with another opioid analgesic, your intestinal function may worsen.
If you experience pain between two doses of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, you may need to take an additional fast-acting analgesic. Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is not suitable for treatment in this case. Discuss this with your doctor.
If you feel that the effect of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
To treat pain
Elderly patients
In general, it is not necessary to adjust the dose in elderly patients with normal kidney and/or liver function.
Liver or kidney disorder
