1. What Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is and what it is used for

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.

2. What you need to know before you take Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva

Do not take Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva

  • if you are allergic to oxycodone hydrochloride, naloxone hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if your breathing is not sufficient to provide enough oxygen to your blood or to remove the carbon dioxide produced by your body (respiratory depression),
  • if you have severe lung disease associated with narrowing of the airways (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD),
  • if you have a condition known as cor pulmonale. This condition consists of the right side of the heart becoming enlarged due to increased pressure inside the blood vessels of the lungs, etc. (e.g. as a result of COPD, see above),
  • if you have severe bronchial asthma,
  • if you have paralytic ileus (a type of intestinal obstruction) not caused by opioids,
  • if you have moderate to severe liver disease.

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor or pharmacist before you start taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva

  • if you are an elderly or debilitated patient (weak),
  • if you have paralytic ileus (a type of intestinal obstruction) caused by opioids,
  • if you have kidney disorders,
  • if you have mild liver disorders,
  • if you have severe lung disorders (i.e. reduced breathing capacity),
  • if you have a disease characterized by frequent pauses in breathing during sleep, which can make you feel very sleepy during the day (sleep apnea),
  • if you have myxedema (a thyroid disorder characterized by dryness, coldness, and swelling of the skin, affecting the face and limbs),
  • if your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones (underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism),
  • if your adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones (adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease),
  • if you have any mental illness accompanied by a loss (partial) of the notion of reality (psychosis), due to alcoholism or intoxication with other substances (substance-induced psychosis),
  • if you have problems with gallstones, or if you have had any other biliary tract disorder (disease affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, etc.),
  • if you have an abnormal increase in the size of the prostate (prostate hypertrophy),
  • if you have a history of alcoholism or delirium tremens,
  • if you have pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas),
  • if you have low blood pressure (hypotension),
  • if you have high blood pressure (hypertension),
  • if you have any previous cardiovascular disease,
  • if you have had a head injury (due to the risk of increased pressure in the brain),
  • if you have epilepsy or are prone to seizures,
  • if you are also receiving treatment with MAO inhibitors (used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease), or have taken this type of medicine in the last two weeks, for example, medicines that contain tranylcypromine, phenelzine, isocarboxazid, moclobemide, and linezolid.
  • if you experience drowsiness or episodes of sudden sleep.

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 disease.

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 the oxygen concentration in the blood to decrease, 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 use.

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 keep 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 or a family member have a history of abuse or dependence on alcohol, prescription medicines, or illegal substances ("addiction").
  • if you smoke.

if you have ever had problems with your mood (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or have received psychiatric treatment for other mental health diseases.

If you notice any of the following signs while taking oxycodone/naloxone, it could be a sign that you have become dependent or addicted.

  • You need to take the medicine for a longer period than recommended by your doctor.
  • You need to take more doses than prescribed.
  • You are using the medicine for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, "to calm down" or "to help you sleep".
  • You have made repeated attempts to stop or control the use of the medicine without success.
  • You do not feel well when you stop taking the medicine and feel better once you take it again ("withdrawal symptoms").

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. Inform your doctor if this occurs. 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 substance abuse. 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 be fatal.

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.

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.

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 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 together with sedative medicines, your doctor must limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.

Tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking and follow your doctor's recommended doses carefully. It may be useful to inform friends or family members who are aware of the signs and symptoms indicated above. Contact your doctor when you experience these symptoms. Some examples of sedative medicines or related medicines are:

  • other potent analgesics (opioids);
  • medicines for treating epilepsy, pain, and anxiety, such as gabapentin and pregabalin;
  • sleeping pills and tranquilizers (sedatives, including benzodiazepines, hypnotics, anxiolytics);
  • medicines for treating depression;
  • medicines used to treat allergies, dizziness, or nausea (antihistamines or antiemetics);
  • medicines used to treat psychiatric or mental disorders (antipsychotics, including phenothiazines and neuroleptics);

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:

  • medicines that reduce the blood's ability to clot (coumarin derivatives), the clotting speed may increase or decrease:
  • macrolide antibiotics (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, or telithromycin);
  • antifungal agents of the azole type (such as ketoconazol, voriconazol, itraconazol, or posaconazol)
  • a specific type of medicine known as a protease inhibitor used to treat HIV (e.g. ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, or saquinavir);
  • cimetidine (a medicine for treating stomach ulcers, indigestion, or heartburn);
  • rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis);
  • carbamazepine (used to treat seizures or certain painful diseases);
  • phenytoin (used to treat seizures or certain painful diseases);
  • a herbal medicine called St. John's Wort (also known as Hypericum perforatum);
  • quinidine (a medicine for treating arrhythmias).
  • muscle relaxants;
  • medicines for treating Parkinson's disease;

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 delivery, 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 infant cannot be ruled out, 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 episodes of sudden sleep. 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".

3. How to take Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. In case of 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 to 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 it 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. They 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, it is likely that your intestinal function will worsen.

If you experience pain between two doses of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, you may need to take an additional rapid-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
