Blackbox WarningTOP

Oral route (Tablet)

Oxycodone hydrochloride/aspirin has the potential for addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess each patient's risk before prescribing, and monitor for development of these behaviors or conditions. Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur. Monitor closely, especially upon initiation or following a dose increase. Accidental ingestion of oxycodone hydrochloride/aspirin, especially in children, can result in fatal overdose of oxycodone hydrochloride. Prolonged use of oxycodone hydrochloride/aspirin during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated. If opioid use is required for a prolonged period in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available. Concomitant use or discontinuation of concomitantly used cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors and inducers may affect the plasma levels of oxycodone and lead to fatal respiratory depression, profound sedation, opioid toxicity, and/or opioid withdrawal. Monitor patients carefully when oxycodone hydrochloride/aspirin and cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors and inducers are concurrently used. Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing for patients with inadequate alternative treatment options. Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required and follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation .

OverviewTOP

Oxycodone and aspirin combination is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. Oxycodone belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.

Aspirin is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. Aspirin belongs to the group of medicines known as salicylates and acts on the immune system to reduce inflammation. It is also known as an antiinflammatory analgesic.

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.

This is especially important for elderly patients, who may be more sensitive to the effects of pain medicines.

Before UsingTOP

PediatricTOP

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of oxycodone and aspirin combination in the pediatric population.

GeriatricTOP
