Respiratory disorders related to sleep
Oxicodona/naloxona may cause respiratory disorders related to sleep such as sleep apnea (pause in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood).
The symptoms may include pauses in breathing during sleep, nocturnal awakenings due to difficulty breathing, difficulty maintaining sleep or excessive daytime somnolence. 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 severe consequence of opioid overdose is respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing). This may also cause a decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the blood, which may cause fainting, etc.
Diarrea
If you experience intense diarrhea at the beginning of treatment, it may be due to the effect of naloxona. It may be a sign that intestinal function is normalizing. This diarrhea may occur in the first 3 to 5 days of treatment. If diarrhea persists after that period of 3 to 5 days, or if you are concerned, contact your doctor.
Change to Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
If you have been receiving another opioid, you may experience withdrawal symptoms shortly after starting treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, for example, restlessness, sweating, and muscle pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need special monitoring by your doctor.
Tolerancia, dependencia y adicción
This medication contains oxicodona, which is an opioid. It may cause dependence and/or addiction.
This medication contains oxicodona, which is an opioid medication. Repeated use of opioid analgesics may make the medication less effective (you become accustomed to it, known as tolerance). Repeated use of oxicodona/naloxona may also cause dependence, abuse, and addiction, which may lead to an overdose that puts your life at risk. The risk of these adverse effects may increase with a higher dose and longer duration of use.
Dependence or addiction may make you feel that you no longer have control over the amount of medication you need to take or how often you need to take it. You may feel that you need to continue taking the medication, even when it no longer helps to relieve your pain or severe 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 oxicodona/naloxona:
If you notice any of the following signs while taking oxicodona/naloxona, it could be a sign that you have become dependent or addicted.
If you notice any of these signs, talk to your doctor to analyze 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 interrupt treatment with oxicodona/naloxona)
Cancer of the digestive or pelvic tract in advanced stages
Inform your doctor if you have cancer associated with peritoneal metastasis or with initial intestinal obstruction in advanced stages of digestive and pelvic cancers.
Surgery
If you need to undergo surgery, tell the doctors that you are receiving treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
Effect on hormone production
Like other opioids, oxicodona may affect normal hormone production in the body, such as cortisol or sex hormones, especially if you have to take high doses for long periods of time. If you notice persistent symptoms such as discomfort (including vomiting), loss of appetite, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, changes in menstrual cycle, impotence, infertility, or decreased libido, consult your doctor to monitor your hormone levels.
Hypersensitivity
This medication may increase your sensitivity to pain, especially at high doses. Inform your doctor if this occurs. You may need to reduce the dose or change the medication.
Residuals in feces
You may observe remnants of the prolonged-release tablet in your feces. Do not be alarmed, as the active principles (hydrochloride of oxicodona and hydrochloride of naloxona) have already been released in the stomach and intestine and have been absorbed by your body.
Incorrect use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is not a treatment for withdrawal syndrome.
The prolonged-release tablet should not be divided into equal doses, but should not be chewed or crushed.
Taking chewed or crushed tablets may lead to the absorption of a potentially fatal dose of hydrochloride of oxicodona (see section 3 “If you take more Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva than you should”).
Abuse
You should never abuse Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, especially if you have a history of addiction. If you are addicted to substances such as heroin, morphine, or methadone, you may experience severe withdrawal symptoms if you misuse oxicodona/naloxona, as it contains naloxona. These symptoms may worsen pre-existing withdrawal symptoms.
Improper use
You should never dissolve the prolonged-release tablets of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva to inject them (for example, into a blood vessel). In particular, they contain talc, which may cause local tissue destruction (necrosis) and alterations in lung tissue (pulmonary granuloma). This misuse may also have other serious consequences and even cause death.
Doping
The use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva may give positive results in antidoping controls.
The use of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva as a doping agent may put your health at risk.
Taking Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva with other medications
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.
The risk of adverse effects increases if you use antidepressants (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine). These medications may interact with oxicodona and you may experience 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 hydrochloride of oxicodona and sedative medications such as benzodiazepines or related medications increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and may put your life at risk. Therefore, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.
However, if your doctor prescribes Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva along with sedative medications, your doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.
Inform your doctor of all sedative medications you are taking and follow the recommended doses closely. It may be helpful 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 medications or related medications are:
If you take these tablets at the same time as other medications, the effects of the tablets or the other medications described below may change. Inform 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 may make you feel more drowsy or increase the risk of severe adverse reactions 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, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva will be avoided unless your doctor thinks that treatment with this medication is essential. If you use Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva for prolonged periods during pregnancy, hydrochloride of oxicodona may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. If hydrochloride of oxicodona is administered during delivery, the newborn may experience respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing).
Breastfeeding
Stop breastfeeding during treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva. Hydrochloride of oxicodona passes into breast milk. It is not known if hydrochloride of naloxona also passes into breast milk. Therefore, the risk to the infant cannot be ruled out, especially if the mother receives several doses of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva.
Driving and operating machinery
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva may affect your ability to drive and operate machinery, as it may cause drowsiness or dizziness. This occurs especially at the beginning of treatment with Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva, after an increase in dose, or after a change from another medication. However, these adverse effects disappear once the dose of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is established.
This medication has been associated with drowsiness and sudden episodes of falling asleep. If you experience these adverse effects, you should not drive or operate machinery. You should inform your doctor if this occurs.
Ask your doctor if you can drive or operate machinery.
Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva contains sodium
This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet, which is essentially “sodium-free”.
Before starting treatment and periodically during treatment, your doctor will talk to you about 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 (also see “If you interrupt 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 of time. Its effect 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 fatal dose of hydrochloride oxicodona (see section 3 “If you take more Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva than you should”).
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, the usual dose is:
For pain treatment
Adults
The usual initial dose is 10 mg of hydrochloride oxicodona/5 mg of hydrochloride naloxona 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 you need to adjust the dose during treatment. Your dose will be adjusted to your level 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 hydrochloride oxicodona and 80 mg of hydrochloride naloxona. If you need a higher dose, your doctor may prescribe you more hydrochloride oxicodona without hydrochloride naloxona. However, the maximum daily dose of hydrochloride oxicodona should not exceed 400 mg.
The beneficial effect of hydrochloride naloxona on intestinal activity may be affected if the dose of hydrochloride oxicodona is increased without increasing the dose of hydrochloride naloxona.
If you substitute Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva for 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 a treatment for this.
If you think the effect of Oxicodona/Naloxona Teva is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
