1. What Oxynador is and what it is used for
Oxynador is a prolonged-release tablet, meaning that the active substances are released from the tablet over an extended period. Its effect lasts for 12 hours.
These tablets may only be used in adults.
Pain relief
Oxynador is indicated for the treatment of severe pain that can be adequately managed only by opioid analgesics.
How the tablets work to relieve pain
Oxynador contains oxycodone hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride as active substances. Oxycodone hydrochloride is responsible for the analgesic effect of Oxynador and is a potent opioid analgesic. The second active substance in Oxynador – naloxone hydrochloride – is intended to reduce certain adverse effects associated with opioid analgesic therapy.
2. Important information before using Oxynador
When not to use Oxynador
- if the patient is allergic to oxycodone hydrochloride, naloxone hydrochloride, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- if the patient has breathing problems resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the blood and inability to remove carbon dioxide produced in the body (respiratory depression),
- if the patient has severe lung disease associated with airway narrowing (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD),
- if the patient has been diagnosed with cor pulmonale. In this condition, 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 COPD - see above),
- if the patient has been diagnosed with severe bronchial asthma,
- if the patient has paralytic ileus (a type of intestinal obstruction) not caused by opioids,
- if the patient has moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Oxynador, consult a doctor or pharmacist:
- in elderly or debilitated patients,
- if the patient has opioid-induced paralytic ileus (a type of intestinal obstruction),
- if the patient has renal impairment,
- if the patient has mild hepatic impairment,
- if the patient has severe pulmonary insufficiency (i.e. reduced vital capacity),
- if the patient experiences frequent breathing interruptions during sleep at night (sleep apnoea), which may cause excessive daytime sleepiness,
- if the patient suffers from a condition characterized by frequent breathing pauses at night, causing daytime sleepiness (sleep apnoea);
- if the patient has myxoedema (a thyroid disorder presenting with dryness, lowered body temperature, and skin swelling ("puffy face") affecting the face and limbs),
- if the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient hormones (underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism),
- if the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient hormones (adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease),
- if the patient has a psychiatric disorder with accompanying (partial) loss of reality perception (psychosis) caused by alcohol or other substances (psychoactive substances),
- if the patient has symptoms related to gallstones or other disorders of the biliary tract (biliary diseases, gallbladder conditions, etc.),
- if the patient has been diagnosed with abnormal enlargement of the prostate gland (prostatic hyperplasia),
- if the patient has alcoholism or alcoholic delirium,
- if the patient has pancreatitis,
- if the patient has low blood pressure (hypotension),
- if the patient has high blood pressure (hypertension),
- if the patient has previously diagnosed cardiovascular disease,
- if the patient has head injury (due to risk of increased intracranial pressure),
- if the patient has epilepsy or predisposition to seizures,
- if the patient is currently taking MAO inhibitors (used in the treatment of depression or Parkinson's disease), or if the patient has taken any of the following within the last two weeks: tranylcypromine, phenelzine, isocarboxazid, moclobemide, or linezolid;
- if the patient feels drowsy or falls asleep unexpectedly;
Sleep-related breathing disorders
Oxynador may cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnoea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels). Symptoms may include breathing interruptions during sleep, waking up due to breathlessness, difficulty falling asleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness. If the patient or another person observes such symptoms, medical advice should be sought. The doctor may recommend reducing the dose.
Consult a doctor if any of the above conditions have ever affected the patient in the past. Also consult a doctor if any of these disorders develop during treatment with these tablets. The most serious consequence of opioid overdose is respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing), which may lead to reduced blood oxygen levels and fainting.
The prolonged-release tablet must be swallowed whole to ensure the controlled release of oxycodone hydrochloride from the prolonged-release tablets. Do not break, chew, or crush the tablets. Taking broken or crushed tablets may result in absorption of a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone hydrochloride (see "Taking more Oxynador than prescribed" in section 3).
If severe diarrhoea occurs at the beginning of treatment, this may be due to the action of naloxone. This may indicate that bowel function is returning to normal. Such diarrhoea may occur within the first 3–5 days of treatment. If diarrhoea persists beyond 3–5 days or is bothersome, the patient should contact their doctor.
When switching to Oxynador from previous opioid painkillers, withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, sweating, and muscle pain may initially occur. If the patient experiences such symptoms, special medical supervision may be required.
Tolerance, dependence, and addiction
This medicine contains oxycodone, an opioid. Repeated use of opioid medicines may lead to reduced effectiveness (the patient becomes accustomed, known as tolerance). Repeated use of Oxynador may lead to dependence and abuse, potentially resulting in life-threatening overdose. The risk of these adverse effects may increase with higher doses and longer duration of use.
Dependence or abuse may cause the patient to feel they have lost control over the dose or frequency of medicine intake. The patient may feel compelled to continue taking the medicine, even if it no longer relieves pain.
The risk of dependence or addiction varies between patients. The risk of addiction to Oxynador may be higher if:
- the patient or any family member has ever abused or been dependent on alcohol,
- prescription medicines, or drugs;
- the patient smokes cigarettes;
- the patient has mood problems (depression, anxiety, or personality disorders) or has been treated
- by a psychiatrist for other mental illnesses.
If, while taking Oxynador, the patient notices any of the following symptoms, this may indicate developing tolerance or dependence:
- The patient needs to take the medicine longer than prescribed by the doctor.
- The patient needs to take a higher dose than recommended.
- The patient uses the medicine for reasons other than those prescribed, e.g. "to stay calm" or "to help with sleep".
- The patient has made repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or control medicine use.
- The patient feels unwell after stopping the medicine, and symptoms improve upon resuming (withdrawal effects).
If any of these symptoms are observed, contact the doctor to discuss the best treatment path, including when and how to safely discontinue Oxynador (see section 3 "Stopping Oxynador treatment").
Contact a doctor if the patient experiences severe upper abdominal pain radiating to the back, nausea, vomiting, or fever, as these may be symptoms of pancreatitis or biliary tract disorders.
Patients with cancer metastatic to the peritoneum or intestinal obstruction in advanced stages of gastrointestinal or pelvic cancer should inform their doctor.
If surgery is required, inform the medical team about taking Oxynador.
Like other opioids, oxycodone may affect normal hormone production in the body, such as cortisol or sex hormones, particularly if the patient has taken high doses for a prolonged period. If the patient develops persistent symptoms such as nausea (including vomiting), loss of appetite, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, changes in menstrual cycle, impotence, infertility, or reduced libido, discuss this with the doctor, as hormone level monitoring may be necessary.
This medicine may increase sensitivity to pain, especially at high doses. Inform the doctor if this occurs. Dose reduction or a change in medication may be necessary.
Remnants of the prolonged-release tablet may be visible in the stool. This is not a cause for concern, as the active substances (oxycodone hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride) have already been released and absorbed during passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
Improper use of Oxynador tablets
The tablets are not suitable for treating withdrawal symptoms.
Never abuse Oxynador, especially if drug-dependent. In individuals dependent on substances such as heroin, morphine, or methadone, abuse of these tablets may cause severe withdrawal symptoms due to the presence of naloxone. Existing withdrawal symptoms may worsen.
Do not misuse these tablets by dissolving and injecting the contents (e.g. intravenously). The tablets contain, among other things, talc, which may cause local tissue necrosis and pulmonary granulomas. Such abuse may lead to other serious consequences, including death.
Using these tablets may result in a positive doping test for stimulants.
Using Oxynador as a stimulant may be life-threatening.
Oxynador and other medicines
Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently or recently taken, as well as any medicines planned for future use.
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, tremor, increased reflexes, increased muscle tone, and elevated body temperature above 38°C.
If these symptoms occur, contact your doctor.
Concurrent use of opioids, including oxycodone hydrochloride, and sedatives such as benzodiazepines or similar medicines, increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory failure), coma, and may be life-threatening. Therefore, concurrent use should only be considered if other treatment options are not feasible.
If the doctor prescribes Oxynador together with sedative medicines, the dose and duration of concurrent use should be limited.
Inform the doctor about all sedative medicines taken and strictly follow dosage instructions. It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives about the symptoms listed above. If such symptoms occur, contact the doctor.
Examples of sedative or similarly acting medicines include:
- other strong painkillers (opioids);
- medicines used to treat epilepsy, pain, and anxiety disorders, such as gabapentin and pregabalin;
- sleeping pills and tranquilizers (including benzodiazepines and anxiolytics);
- medicines used to treat depression;
- medicines used for allergies, motion sickness, or nausea (antihistamines or antiemetics);
- medicines used to treat mental disorders (antipsychotics containing phenothiazines, neuroleptics);
- muscle relaxants;
- medicines used to treat Parkinson's disease.
When taking these tablets together with other medicines, the effects of both the tablets and the medicines listed below may change.
Inform the doctor about taking medicines such as:
- medicines that affect blood clotting (coumarin derivatives), which may prolong or shorten clotting time;
- macrolide antibiotics (e.g. clarithromycin, erythromycin, or telithromycin);
- azole antifungal medicines (such as ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, or posaconazole);
- protease inhibitors used in HIV treatment (examples include ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, and saquinavir);
- cimetidine (a medicine for stomach ulcers, indigestion, or heartburn);
- rifampicin (used in tuberculosis treatment);
- carbamazepine (used to treat seizures, convulsions, or certain types of pain);
- phenytoin (used to treat seizures, convulsions, or seizures);
- St John's wort (also known as Hypericum perforatum);
- quinidine (a medicine for treating heart rhythm disorders).
No interaction between Oxynador and paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid, or naltrexone is expected.
Oxynador with food, drink, and alcohol
Drinking alcohol while taking Oxynador may cause drowsiness or increase the risk of serious adverse effects such as shallow breathing, apnoea, and loss of consciousness. Alcohol consumption is not recommended during treatment with Oxynador. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking these tablets.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
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
Avoid using these tablets in pregnant women whenever possible. Long-term use of prolonged-release tablets during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. If oxycodone hydrochloride is used during labour, respiratory depression (slow and shallow breathing) may occur in the newborn.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding must be discontinued during treatment with these tablets. Oxycodone hydrochloride passes into breast milk. It is unknown whether naloxone hydrochloride also passes into breast milk. Therefore, the risk to a breastfed infant cannot be excluded if the mother uses Oxynador long-term.
Driving and operating machinery
Oxynador may impair the ability to drive and operate machinery. This effect is particularly expected at the beginning of treatment with Oxynador, after each dose increase, or when switching to another medicine. However, these disturbances usually resolve once the patient has been on a stable dose of Oxynador for a prolonged period.
Oxynador has been associated with drowsiness and episodes of sudden sleep. If the patient experiences this adverse effect, they must not drive or operate machinery. Consult the doctor if such adverse effects occur.
The patient should consult their doctor about the possibility of driving or operating machinery.
Oxynador contains lactose
The medicine contains lactose (milk sugar). If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to certain sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking these tablets.
3. How to use Oxynador
This medicine should always be used as directed by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, your doctor will discuss with you the expected effects of taking Oxynador, when and for how long you should take it, when you should contact your doctor, and when you should stop taking Oxynador (see "Stopping treatment with Oxynador").
Oxynador is available as prolonged-release tablets, which means that its active ingredients are released over an extended period. The effect lasts for 12 hours.
Prolonged-release tablets must be swallowed whole to avoid disrupting the slow release of hydrochloride oxycodone from the prolonged-release tablet. The tablets must not be broken, chewed, or crushed. Taking a broken, chewed, or crushed tablet leads to faster release of the active substance from the tablet. This may result in the absorption of a potentially fatal dose of hydrochloride oxycodone (see section 3 "Taking a higher than recommended dose of Oxynador").
Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the usual dose of Oxynador is:
Pain treatment
Adults
The usual starting dose is 10 mg of hydrochloride oxycodone + 5 mg of hydrochloride naloxone in the form of prolonged-release tablet(s) every 12 hours.
Your doctor will decide on any necessary dose adjustments during treatment. The dose will be adjusted according to the intensity of pain and the individual sensitivity of the patient. The patient should receive the lowest effective dose to control pain. In patients previously treated with opioid analgesics, treatment with Oxynador may be initiated with higher doses.
The maximum daily dose is 160 mg of hydrochloride oxycodone and 80 mg of hydrochloride naloxone. If a patient requires a higher dose, your doctor may prescribe additional doses of hydrochloride oxycodone without hydrochloride naloxone. However, the total daily dose of hydrochloride oxycodone should not exceed 400 mg.
When additional doses of hydrochloride oxycodone without hydrochloride naloxone are administered, the beneficial effect of hydrochloride naloxone on bowel function may be impaired.
If your doctor decides to switch you from Oxynador to another opioid medicine, bowel function may worsen.
If you experience pain before the next dose of Oxynador is due, it may be necessary to use a fast-acting pain reliever. These tablets are not intended for this purpose.
In such cases, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Your doctor will decide the daily dose you should take and how to divide the daily dose into morning and evening doses.
If you feel the effect of the tablets is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Elderly patients
Dose adjustment is usually not necessary in elderly patients with normal liver and/or kidney function.
Liver or kidney impairment
If you have kidney impairment or mild liver impairment, your doctor will prescribe these tablets with particular caution. If you have moderate to severe liver impairment, these tablets should not be used (see also section 2 "When not to use Oxynador" and "Warnings and precautions").
Children and adolescents under 18 years of age
Oxynador has not been studied in children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children and adolescents. Therefore, Oxynador is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Method of administration
Oral use.
The tablets should be swallowed whole (without chewing) with an adequate amount of liquid (½ glass of water).
The tablets may be taken with or without food. The tablets should be taken every 12 hours according to the prescribed treatment schedule (e.g., in the morning at 8:00 a.m., in the evening at 8:00 p.m.). Prolonged-release tablets must not be broken, chewed, or crushed (see section 2 "Warnings and precautions").
Applies only to single-dose blisters with child-resistant packaging:
Oxynador is available in single-dose blisters with child-resistant packaging. To remove the prolonged-release tablet from the blister, follow these steps:
- Hold the edge of the blister and gently separate one square from the rest of the blister along the perforation line.
- Pull the edge of the foil and completely peel it off.
- Push the prolonged-release tablet out onto your hand.
- Swallow the prolonged-release tablet whole with an adequate amount of liquid, with or without food.
Duration of treatment
These tablets should not be taken longer than necessary. If you are undergoing long-term treatment with these tablets, your doctor should regularly assess whether continued treatment is still required.
Taking a higher than recommended dose of Oxynador
If you take more than the recommended dose of tablets, contact your doctor immediately.
Overdose may cause:
- constricted pupils,
- slow and shallow breathing (respiratory depression),
- narcotic-like drowsiness up to loss of consciousness,
- reduced muscle tone (hypotonia),
- slowed heart rate,
- drop in blood pressure,
- brain disorders (toxic leukoencephalopathy).
In severe cases, unconsciousness (coma), pulmonary edema, and circulatory collapse may occur, which in some cases may lead to death.
Avoid activities requiring increased attention, such as driving.
Missing a dose of Oxynador
or taking a lower than prescribed dose may result in inadequate pain relief.
If you forget to take a dose, follow these instructions:
- If 8 hours or more remain until the next dose: take the missed dose immediately and continue taking the medicine according to the prescribed schedule.
- If less than 8 hours remain until the next dose: do not take the missed dose. Wait 8 hours before taking the next dose. Try to return to the original dosing schedule (e.g., in the morning at 8:00 a.m., in the evening at 8:00 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 Oxynador
Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.
If treatment is no longer needed, the daily dose should be gradually reduced after consultation with your doctor. This helps prevent withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, especially motor restlessness, sweating, and muscle pain.
If you have any further questions about the use of these tablets, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
