1. What Oxylaxon is and what it is used for

Pain treatment
Oxylaxon has been prescribed to treat severe pain that can only be adequately managed with opioid analgesics.

How Oxylaxon works against pain
Oxylaxon contains the active substances oxycodone hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride.
Oxycodone is responsible for the analgesic effect of the medicine. It is a strong pain-relieving agent belonging to a group of medicines called opioids.
Naloxone counteracts constipation, which is a common side effect of strong painkillers (opioids).

2. Important information before using Oxylaxon

When not to use Oxylaxon

  • if the patient is allergic to oxycodone, naloxone, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has breathing problems, such as weaker or slower breathing than usual (respiratory depression);
  • if the patient has severe lung disease associated with airway obstruction (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
  • if the patient has a condition called cor pulmonale; in this case, the right side of the heart is enlarged due to increased pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs (e.g. as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
  • if the patient has severe bronchial asthma;
  • if the patient has opioid-independent intestinal obstruction;
  • if the patient has moderate to severe liver impairment.

Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Oxylaxon, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist:

  • in elderly or weakened patients;
  • if the patient has opioid-induced intestinal obstruction;
  • in case of kidney function disorders;
  • in case of mild liver impairment;
  • if the patient has severe lung disorders (e.g. reduced respiratory capacity);
  • if the patient suffers from a condition characterized by frequent pauses in breathing during sleep, which may cause daytime sleepiness (sleep apnoea);
  • if the patient has myxoedema (a thyroid disorder characterized by dryness, coldness, and swelling of the skin affecting the face and limbs);
  • if the patient’s thyroid gland does not produce sufficient amounts of hormones (hypothyroidism);
  • if the patient has adrenal gland disorders (adrenal glands not functioning properly), e.g. Addison’s disease;
  • in case of a mental disorder with associated (partial) loss of reality perception (psychosis), caused by alcohol or other substance intoxication (substance-induced psychosis);
  • if the patient has gallstones;
  • in case of abnormal enlargement of the prostate gland (prostate hyperplasia);
  • in case of pancreatitis;
  • in case of low blood pressure (hypotension);
  • in case of high blood pressure (hypertension);
  • in case of heart disorders;
  • in case of head injury (due to the risk of increased intracranial pressure);
  • if the patient has epilepsy or a tendency to seizures;
  • if the patient is taking medicines called MAO inhibitors (used in the treatment of depression or Parkinson’s disease), e.g. medicines containing tranylcypromine, phenelzine, isocarboxazid, or moclobemide;
  • if the patient experiences drowsiness or episodes of sudden sleep.

Inform your doctor if the patient has previously experienced any of the conditions listed above. You should also contact your doctor if any of these conditions occur during treatment with Oxylaxon.

Sleep-related breathing disorders
Oxylaxon may cause sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnoea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and nocturnal hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood during sleep). Symptoms may include pauses in breathing during sleep, waking up at night due to breathlessness, difficulty maintaining sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness. If the patient or another person observes such symptoms, contact a doctor. The doctor may consider reducing the dose.

Tolerance, dependence, and abuse
This medicine contains oxycodone, which is an opioid. It may cause dependence and/or abuse.
This medicine contains oxycodone, which is an opioid analgesic. Repeated use of opioid painkillers may lead to reduced effectiveness of the medicine (the patient’s body becomes accustomed to it, known as tolerance).
Repeated use of Oxylaxon may lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which may result in life-threatening overdose. The risk of these adverse effects may be higher when higher doses are used for prolonged periods.
Dependence or addiction may lead to the patient being unable to control how much medicine to take or how often to take it. The patient may feel a need to take the medicine even if it is no longer relieving pain.
The risk of developing dependence or addiction varies between individuals. The risk may be higher if:

  • the patient or a family member has ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines, or drugs ("addiction");
  • the patient is a smoker;
  • the patient has ever had mood disorders (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or has been treated by a psychiatrist for other mental disorders.

If the patient notices any of the following symptoms while taking Oxylaxon, this may indicate that dependence or addiction is developing:

  • need to take the medicine longer than prescribed by the doctor;
  • need to take a higher dose than recommended;
  • use of the medicine for reasons other than prescribed, e.g. "to calm down" or "to help fall asleep";
  • repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce use of the medicine;
  • feeling unwell after stopping the medicine and improvement after restarting (withdrawal effect).

If the patient observes any of these symptoms, they should contact their doctor to discuss the best treatment plan, including the appropriate time and safe way to discontinue treatment (see section 3 "Stopping treatment with Oxylaxon").

Oxylaxon is not recommended for use in patients with advanced gastrointestinal or pelvic tumours where intestinal obstruction may occur.
If acute diarrhoea occurs at the beginning of treatment (within the first 3–5 days), this may be a naloxone effect. It may indicate that intestinal function is returning to normal. If diarrhoea persists beyond 3–5 days or is concerning to the patient, contact a doctor.
If the patient has previously taken high doses of other opioids, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, sweating episodes, and muscle pain) may initially occur when switching to Oxylaxon. If such symptoms occur, the patient may require special medical monitoring.
If the patient is scheduled for surgery, inform the doctor about the use of Oxylaxon.
Contact a doctor if the patient experiences severe upper abdominal pain, possibly radiating to the back, nausea, vomiting, or fever, as these may be symptoms associated with pancreatitis or biliary tract inflammation.
With long-term use of Oxylaxon, tolerance to the medicine may develop. This means the patient may require higher doses to achieve the desired effect. Long-term use of this medicine may lead to physical dependence. Avoid using medicines containing oxycodone in patients with current or past alcohol, drug, or medicine abuse. If treatment is stopped abruptly, withdrawal symptoms may occur. If the patient no longer needs treatment, the daily dose should be gradually reduced in consultation with a doctor.
Undissolved tablet residues may be present in the stool. This is not a cause for concern, as the active substance has already been released in the stomach and intestines and absorbed by the body.

Misuse of Oxylaxon
Never misuse Oxylaxon, especially if the patient is drug-dependent. In patients dependent on drugs such as heroin, morphine, or methadone, misuse of Oxylaxon may cause severe withdrawal symptoms due to the presence of naloxone. Existing withdrawal symptoms may intensify.
Do not misuse Oxylaxon extended-release tablets by dissolving and injecting them (e.g. intravenously) or by inhaling them. The tablets contain talc, which may cause local tissue necrosis and lung tissue changes (pulmonary granulomas). Misuse may also lead to other serious consequences, including death.
Extended-release tablets must be swallowed whole to preserve the slow-release property of oxycodone. Tablets must not be divided, broken, chewed, or crushed. Taking divided, broken, chewed, or crushed tablets may result in the release of a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone (see section 3 "Taking a higher than recommended dose of Oxylaxon").
Use of Oxylaxon may lead to positive results in anti-doping tests.
Using Oxylaxon as a stimulant may pose a life-threatening risk.

Children and adolescents
This medicine should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as safety and efficacy have not been established.

Oxylaxon and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently used, recently used, or planned for use.
The risk of adverse effects increases if Oxylaxon is used together with other medicines that affect brain function. In such cases, the patient may experience drowsiness or worsening breathing problems (slow, shallow breathing).
Medicines that affect brain function include:

  • other strong painkillers (opioids);
  • sleeping pills and sedatives;
  • antidepressants (e.g. paroxetine, fluoxetine);
  • medicines used to treat allergies, motion sickness, or nausea (antihistamines or antiemetics);
  • other medicines affecting the nervous system (phenothiazines, neuroleptics).

The risk of adverse effects increases if the patient takes antidepressants (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine). These medicines may interact with oxycodone, causing the following symptoms in the patient: involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions, including muscles controlling eye movements, agitation, excessive sweating, tremors, increased reflexes, increased muscle tone, and body temperature rising above 38°C. If these symptoms occur, contact a doctor.
Concomitant use of Oxylaxon and sedatives, e.g. benzodiazepines or related drugs, increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), or coma, which may be life-threatening. Therefore, combination therapy should only be considered when no other treatment options are available.
If Oxylaxon is used together with sedatives, the doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant use.
The patient should inform the doctor about all sedative medicines being taken and strictly follow the prescribed dose. It may be helpful to inform a relative or close friend about the possibility of these symptoms occurring. If the described symptoms occur, consult a doctor.
Inform your doctor if the patient is taking any of the following medicines:

  • medicines that affect blood clotting (coumarin derivatives), as clotting time may be accelerated or slowed;
  • macrolide antibiotics (e.g. clarithromycin, erythromycin, telithromycin);
  • azole antifungal medicines (e.g. ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole);
  • ritonavir or other protease inhibitors (used in HIV treatment, such as indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir);
  • cimetidine (a medicine used to treat stomach ulcers, indigestion, or heartburn);
  • rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis);
  • carbamazepine (used to treat seizures, fits, or convulsions and certain types of pain);
  • phenytoin (used to treat seizures, fits, or convulsions);
  • St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum);
  • quinidine (a medicine used to treat irregular heart rhythm);
  • medicines used to treat depression;
  • medicines used to treat allergies, motion sickness, or nausea (antihistamines or antiemetics);
  • medicines used to treat mental disorders (antipsychotics or neuroleptics);
  • muscle relaxants;
  • medicines used to treat Parkinson’s disease.

Using Oxylaxon with food, drink, and alcohol
Consuming alcohol while taking Oxylaxon may cause drowsiness or increase the risk of severe adverse effects such as shallow breathing, risk of respiratory arrest, and loss of consciousness. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment with Oxylaxon.
Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Oxylaxon.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, she should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Pregnancy
If possible, avoid using Oxylaxon during pregnancy. If the medicine is used for prolonged periods during pregnancy, oxycodone may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. If oxycodone is administered during childbirth, respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing) may occur in the newborn.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding must be discontinued during treatment with Oxylaxon. Oxycodone passes into breast milk. It is unknown whether naloxone also passes into breast milk. For this reason, the risk to the breastfed infant cannot be excluded, particularly if the mother is taking multiple doses of Oxylaxon.

Driving and operating machinery
This medicine may affect the ability to drive and operate machinery, as it may cause drowsiness or dizziness. This is most likely at the beginning of treatment, after dose increase, or after switching to this medicine from another. These adverse effects should subside when the patient has been on a stable dose for a longer period.
Oxylaxon may cause drowsiness or episodes of sudden sleep. If these occur, the patient should not drive or operate machinery. Inform the doctor about these effects.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure whether it is safe to drive while taking this medicine.

Oxylaxon 5 mg + 2.5 mg and 10 mg + 5 mg contains lactose.
Patients with intolerance to certain sugars should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per prolonged-release tablet, which means it is "sodium-free".

3. How to use Oxylaxon

This medicine should always be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If the prescribed dose cannot be achieved or is impractical with the available strengths of this medicine, other strengths of the same medicinal product may be used.

Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, your doctor will discuss with you what to expect from using Oxylaxon, when and for how long you should take it, when to contact your doctor, and when you should stop taking it (see also "Stopping treatment with Oxylaxon").

Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the usual dose is:

For pain treatment

Adults
The usual starting dose is 10 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride and 5 mg of naloxone hydrochloride every 12 hours.

Your doctor will decide the total daily dose and how to divide it into morning and evening doses. Your doctor will also determine any necessary dose adjustments during treatment, depending on the intensity of pain and your individual sensitivity. You should take the lowest effective dose needed to relieve your pain. If you have previously taken opioids, treatment with Oxylaxon may be started at a higher initial dose.

The maximum daily dose is 160 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride and 80 mg of naloxone hydrochloride. If higher doses are required, your doctor may prescribe additional doses of oxycodone without naloxone. However, the maximum daily dose of oxycodone hydrochloride must not exceed 400 mg. When additional doses of oxycodone hydrochloride are administered, the beneficial effect of naloxone hydrochloride on bowel function may be reduced.

If you experience pain between doses, another fast-acting painkiller may be needed. Oxylaxon is not intended for this purpose. Consult your doctor in such cases.

If you feel the medicine’s effect is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Elderly patients
Usually, no dose adjustment is necessary in elderly patients with normal kidney and/or liver function.

Impaired liver or kidney function
If you have kidney problems or mild liver impairment, your doctor will prescribe Oxylaxon with special caution. Do not take Oxylaxon if you have moderate to severe hepatic impairment (see also section 2. "When not to use Oxylaxon" and "Warnings and precautions").

Children and adolescents under 18 years
Studies on the efficacy and safety of Oxylaxon in children and adolescents have not been conducted. Therefore, this medicine is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age.

Method of administration

For oral use.

Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Tablets may be taken with or without food. Take them every 12 hours as directed. For example, if you take a tablet at 8 a.m., the next should be taken at 8 p.m.

Do not split, break, chew, or crush prolonged-release tablets.

Instructions for use of the blister pack:
This medicine is packaged in child-resistant packaging. Press firmly on the blister to push the tablet out.

Duration of treatment

Do not use Oxylaxon longer than necessary. If you are taking Oxylaxon for an extended period, your doctor should regularly assess whether continued treatment is still required.

Taking more Oxylaxon than prescribed

If you take more Oxylaxon than prescribed, you must contact your doctor immediately.

Overdose may cause:

  • constricted pupils,
  • slowed and shallow breathing (respiratory depression),
  • drowsiness or loss of consciousness,
  • reduced muscle tone (hypotonia),
  • slowed heart rate,
  • low blood pressure,
  • brain disorders (known as toxic leukoencephalopathy).

In severe cases, unconsciousness (coma), pulmonary edema, and circulatory collapse may occur, which can lead to death.

Avoid situations requiring increased attention (e.g., driving).

Missed dose of Oxylaxon

If you miss a dose of Oxylaxon or take a lower dose than prescribed, you may not experience the medicine’s effect.

If you forget to take a dose, follow these instructions:

  • If the next dose is due in 8 hours or more: take the missed dose immediately and continue treatment as usual.
  • If the next dose is due in less than 8 hours: take the missed dose, then wait 8 hours before taking the next dose. Try to return to the normal dosing schedule (e.g., at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.).

Do not take more than one dose within 8 hours.

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

Stopping treatment with Oxylaxon

Do not stop taking Oxylaxon without consulting your doctor.

If you no longer need further treatment, your doctor will recommend gradually reducing the daily dose. This way, you can avoid withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, sweating, and muscle pain.

If you have any further doubts about using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
