Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Oxycodone and aspirin tablets are indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. Limitations of Use Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, with opioids, which can occur at any dosage or duration (see WARNINGS ), reserve oxycodone and aspirin tablets for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options (e.g., non-opioid analgesics) • Have not been tolerated, or are not expected to be tolerated, • Have not provided adequate analgesia, or are not expected to provide adequate analgesia Oxycodone and Aspirin tablets should not be used for an extended period of time unless the pain remains severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatme...
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Important Dosage and Administration Instructions Oxycodone and aspirin tablets should be prescribed only by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the use of opioids and how to mitigate the associated risks. Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration of time consistent with individual patient treatment goals [see WARNINGS ]. Because the risk of overdose increases as opioid doses increase, reserve titration to higher doses of oxycodone and aspirin tablets for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using a higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks.
Side Effects
ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections: • Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse (see WARNINGS ) • Life-Threatening Respiratory Depression (see WARNINGS ) • Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (see WARNINGS ) • Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia and Allodynia [see WARNINGS ] • Interactions with Benzodiazepines and Other CNS Depressants (see WARNINGS ) • Adrenal Insufficiency (see WARNINGS ) • Severe Hypotension (see WARNINGS ) • Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions (see WARNINGS ) • Seizures (see WARNINGS ) • Withdrawal (see WARNINGS ) Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to...
Interactions
Drug -Drug Interactions (see PRECAUTIONS) Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Since the CYP3A4 isoenzyme plays a major role in the metabolism of oxycodone and aspirin tablets, drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 activity, such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g., ketoconazole), and protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir), may cause decreased clearance of oxycodone, which could lead to an increase in oxycodone plasma concentrations. A published study showed that the co-administration of the antifungal drug, voriconazole, increased oxycodone AUC and Cmax by 3.6 and 1.7 fold, respectively. The expected clinical results would be increased or prolonged opioid effects.
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS AND LIFE-THREATENING RISKS FROM USE OF OXYCODONE AND ASPIRIN TABLETS Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Because the use of oxycodone and aspirin tablets exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death, assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing and reassess all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors and conditions (see WARNINGS ). WARNINGS Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Oxycodone and aspirin tablets contain Oxycodone, a Schedule II controlled substance. As an opioid, oxycodone and aspirin tablets exposes users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse (see DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE ). Although the risk of addiction in any individual is unknown, it can occur in patients appropriately prescribed oxycodone and aspirin tablets. Addiction can occur at recommended dosages and if the drug is misused or abused. Assess each patient’s risk for opioid addiction, abuse, or misuse prior to prescribing oxycodone and aspirin tablets, and reassess all patients receiving oxycodone and aspirin tablets for the development of these behaviors and conditions. CONTRAINDICATIONS Oxycodone and aspirin tablets are contraindicated in patients with: • Significant respiratory depression (see WARNINGS ) • Acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in the absence of resuscitative equipment (see WARNINGS ) • Known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus (see WARNINGS ) • Hypersensitivity to oxycodone or aspirin, (e...
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of opioid analgesics for extended period of time during pregnancy may cause neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (see WARNINGS ). Available data with oxycodone and aspirin tablets are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Reproduction studies in rats and rabbits demonstrated that oral administration of oxycodone was not teratogenic or embryo-fetal toxic.
