Common questions about Targiniq ER (oxycodone / naloxone)
Targiniq ER (oxycodone / naloxone) is made up of two medications. Oxycodone is an opioid medication that binds (attaches) to mu-opioid receptors in your brain to lower your response to pain. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks opioid receptors in your brain. The naloxone component is used to help prevent medication abuse. It blocks the pleasurable effects that occur when people abuse the medication through means other than swallowing it whole (e.g., self-injection, crushed tablet), but also causes bothersome effects when this is done.
