Tell your doctor if any of the above apply to you or if you have had any of the above before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis has a primary dependence potential.\u00a0When used for a long time, tolerance to the effects can arise, which means that an increased\u00a0dose\u00a0is required to maintain pain control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chronic\u00a0use of Oxycodone Actavis may lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms may occur with abrupt discontinuation of treatment.\u00a0When a patient no longer needs treatment with oxycodone hydrochloride, it is advisable to reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of developing physical or psychological dependence is small when the drug is used as prescribed by patients suffering from chronic pain, and this risk must be weighed against the possible benefit. Discuss this with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In rare cases, an increased sensitivity to pain, which does not respond to increased\u00a0dosing, may develop.\u00a0If this happens, your doctor will reduce your\u00a0dose\u00a0or switch to another type of opioid painkiller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use of Oxycodone Actavis is not recommended before surgery or 24 hours after surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis should be used with special caution in patients who are or have previously been addicted to drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like other\u00a0opioids, Oxycodone Actavis can affect the normal production of\u00a0hormones\u00a0in your body, such as\u00a0cortisol\u00a0or sex hormones.\u00a0This is especially true if you are taking high\u00a0doses\u00a0for a long time.\u00a0Symptoms may include nausea or vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness, altered sexual ability, changes in the menstrual cycle, or\u00a0impotence.\u00a0Discuss this with your doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 4, \u201cPossible side effects\u201d, provides information on countermeasures to alleviate certain\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis has not been studied in children under 12 years of age.\u00a0Safety and efficacy have not been established and therefore use in children under 12 years of age are not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elderly patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn elderly patients without renal and\/or hepatic impairment, no dose adjustment is usually required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other medicines and Oxycodone Actavis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take these capsules together with other medicines, the effect of these capsules or the other medicine may increase or decrease. The risk of side effects can also increase. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- a type of medicine called a\u00a0monoamine oxidase inhibitor\u00a0(\u00a0MAOIs, such as moclobemide, phenelzine, isoniazid, tranylcypromine<\/a>, or\u00a0selegiline\u00a0), or if you have taken this type of medicine in the last two weeks (see section “Warnings and precautions”)<\/li>
- medicines that help you sleep or stay calm (eg\u00a0hypnotics\u00a0or\u00a0sedatives, including\u00a0benzodiazepines\u00a0)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat depression (eg\u00a0paroxetine\u00a0or\u00a0fluoxetine\u00a0)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat psychiatric or mental illness (such as phenothiazines or neuroleptic medicines)<\/li>
- other strong painkillers (\u00a0opioids\u00a0)<\/li>
- muscle relaxants<\/li>
- quinidine\u00a0(a drug used to treat rapid heartbeat)<\/li>
- cimetidine (a medicine for\u00a0stomach ulcers, indigestion, or heartburn)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as\u00a0ketoconazole\u00a0, voriconazole, itraconazole or posaconazole)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat bacterial infections (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, or telithromycin)<\/li>
- a type of medicine called a\u00a0protease inhibitor\u00a0used to treat\u00a0HIV\u00a0(eg boceprevir, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir)<\/li>
- rifampicin, to treat\u00a0tuberculosis<\/li>
- carbamazepine (a medicine for seizures, seizures, tremors, and certain pain conditions)<\/li>
- phenytoin\u00a0(a medicine for seizures, seizures, and tremors)<\/li>
- St. John’s wort, a traditional herbal medicine (Hypericum Perforatum)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat\u00a0allergies\u00a0(\u00a0antihistamines\u00a0) or vomiting (antiemetics)<\/li>
- drugs used to treat\u00a0Parkinson’s disease<\/li>
- coumarin-type anticoagulants\u00a0(medicines that reduce the blood’s ability to clot)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You should also tell your doctor if you have recently been anesthetized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitant use of Oxycodone Actavis and sedatives or medicines for sleep disorders such as benzodiazepines or similar medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulty breathing ( respiratory depression ), coma and may be life-threatening. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your doctor prescribes Oxycodone Actavis at the same time as sedatives, the dose and treatment time should be limited by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you are taking any sedatives and carefully follow your doctor’s dose recommendations. It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives about paying attention to the signs and symptoms described above. Contact a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0is increased if you take antidepressant drugs (for example,\u00a0citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram,\u00a0fluoxetine, fluvoxamine,\u00a0paroxetine,\u00a0sertraline,\u00a0venlafaxine\u00a0).\u00a0These drugs can affect or be affected by oxycodone, and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions, including in the muscles that control eye movements, sudden movements, heavy sweating, tremors, excessive reflexive movements, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38 \u00b0 C.\u00a0Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis with food, drink, and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis can be taken with or without food with a sufficient amount of fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grapefruit juice<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nGrapefruit juice can impair the breakdown of oxycodone, which increases its effectiveness.\u00a0Therefore, you should avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Oxikodon Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alcohol<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you drink alcohol while using Oxikodon Actavis, it may make you feel more sleepy or increase the risk of serious\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as\u00a0shallow breathing with a risk of respiratory arrest and unconsciousness.\u00a0You should not drink alcohol while using Oxikodon Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are pregnant, you should avoid taking Oxikodon Actavis if possible. There is insufficient experience with oxycodone treatment in pregnant women. Oxycodone passes through the placenta into the bloodstream of the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prolonged use of oxycodone during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.\u00a0The use of oxycodone during labor can cause severe breathing problems in the newborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou should not take Oxycodone Actavis during the breastfeeding period as oxycodone passes into breast milk and may cause breathing problems in the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone impairs the ability to concentrate and react to such an extent that the ability to drive and use machines is affected or disappears altogether. For possible side effects affecting driving ability and concentration, see section 4 \u201cPossible side effects\u201d. During stable treatment, it is not necessary to ban driving in general. The treating physician must evaluate the individual situation. Discuss with your doctor if and under what circumstances you can drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0The description of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Oxikodon Actavis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- if you are elderly or debilitated.<\/li>
- if your lung, liver, or kidney function is severely impaired.<\/li>
- if you have\u00a0myxedema\u00a0(a certain disease of the thyroid gland), impaired thyroid function.<\/li>
- if you have impaired adrenal function (adrenal glands do not work properly) for example\u00a0Addison’s disease.<\/li>
- if you have an enlarged\u00a0prostate\u00a0(\u00a0prostatic hypertrophy\u00a0).<\/li>
- if you are an alcoholic or undergoing treatment for alcohol dependence.<\/li>
- if you know you are addicted to\u00a0opioids.<\/li>
- if you have\u00a0inflammation\u00a0of the pancreas (\u00a0pancreatitis\u00a0).<\/li>
- in conditions with increased pressure in the brain, e.g.\u00a0in case of head injury…<\/li>
- if you have circulatory disorders.<\/li>
- if you have\u00a0colic\u00a0in the bile duct and ureter.<\/li>
- if you have low\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0or decreased blood flow to the circulatory system.<\/li>
- if you have\u00a0epilepsy\u00a0or a tendency to seizures.<\/li>
- if you are taking\u00a0MAOIs\u00a0(to treat depression).<\/li>
- if you have recently had surgery on your abdomen or intestines.<\/li>
- if you have an\u00a0inflammatory\u00a0bowel disease.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if any of the above apply to you or if you have had any of the above before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis has a primary dependence potential.\u00a0When used for a long time, tolerance to the effects can arise, which means that an increased\u00a0dose\u00a0is required to maintain pain control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chronic\u00a0use of Oxycodone Actavis may lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms may occur with abrupt discontinuation of treatment.\u00a0When a patient no longer needs treatment with oxycodone hydrochloride, it is advisable to reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of developing physical or psychological dependence is small when the drug is used as prescribed by patients suffering from chronic pain, and this risk must be weighed against the possible benefit. Discuss this with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In rare cases, an increased sensitivity to pain, which does not respond to increased\u00a0dosing, may develop.\u00a0If this happens, your doctor will reduce your\u00a0dose\u00a0or switch to another type of opioid painkiller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use of Oxycodone Actavis is not recommended before surgery or 24 hours after surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis should be used with special caution in patients who are or have previously been addicted to drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like other\u00a0opioids, Oxycodone Actavis can affect the normal production of\u00a0hormones\u00a0in your body, such as\u00a0cortisol\u00a0or sex hormones.\u00a0This is especially true if you are taking high\u00a0doses\u00a0for a long time.\u00a0Symptoms may include nausea or vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness, altered sexual ability, changes in the menstrual cycle, or\u00a0impotence.\u00a0Discuss this with your doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 4, \u201cPossible side effects\u201d, provides information on countermeasures to alleviate certain\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis has not been studied in children under 12 years of age.\u00a0Safety and efficacy have not been established and therefore use in children under 12 years of age are not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elderly patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In elderly patients without renal and\/or hepatic impairment, no dose adjustment is usually required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other medicines and Oxycodone Actavis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take these capsules together with other medicines, the effect of these capsules or the other medicine may increase or decrease. The risk of side effects can also increase. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- a type of medicine called a\u00a0monoamine oxidase inhibitor\u00a0(\u00a0MAOIs, such as moclobemide, phenelzine, isoniazid, tranylcypromine<\/a>, or\u00a0selegiline\u00a0), or if you have taken this type of medicine in the last two weeks (see section “Warnings and precautions”)<\/li>
- medicines that help you sleep or stay calm (eg\u00a0hypnotics\u00a0or\u00a0sedatives, including\u00a0benzodiazepines\u00a0)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat depression (eg\u00a0paroxetine\u00a0or\u00a0fluoxetine\u00a0)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat psychiatric or mental illness (such as phenothiazines or neuroleptic medicines)<\/li>
- other strong painkillers (\u00a0opioids\u00a0)<\/li>
- muscle relaxants<\/li>
- quinidine\u00a0(a drug used to treat rapid heartbeat)<\/li>
- cimetidine (a medicine for\u00a0stomach ulcers, indigestion, or heartburn)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as\u00a0ketoconazole\u00a0, voriconazole, itraconazole or posaconazole)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat bacterial infections (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, or telithromycin)<\/li>
- a type of medicine called a\u00a0protease inhibitor\u00a0used to treat\u00a0HIV\u00a0(eg boceprevir, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir)<\/li>
- rifampicin, to treat\u00a0tuberculosis<\/li>
- carbamazepine (a medicine for seizures, seizures, tremors, and certain pain conditions)<\/li>
- phenytoin\u00a0(a medicine for seizures, seizures, and tremors)<\/li>
- St. John’s wort, a traditional herbal medicine (Hypericum Perforatum)<\/li>
- medicines used to treat\u00a0allergies\u00a0(\u00a0antihistamines\u00a0) or vomiting (antiemetics)<\/li>
- drugs used to treat\u00a0Parkinson’s disease<\/li>
- coumarin-type anticoagulants\u00a0(medicines that reduce the blood’s ability to clot)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You should also tell your doctor if you have recently been anesthetized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitant use of Oxycodone Actavis and sedatives or medicines for sleep disorders such as benzodiazepines or similar medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulty breathing ( respiratory depression ), coma and may be life-threatening. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your doctor prescribes Oxycodone Actavis at the same time as sedatives, the dose and treatment time should be limited by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you are taking any sedatives and carefully follow your doctor’s dose recommendations. It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives about paying attention to the signs and symptoms described above. Contact a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0is increased if you take antidepressant drugs (for example,\u00a0citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram,\u00a0fluoxetine, fluvoxamine,\u00a0paroxetine,\u00a0sertraline,\u00a0venlafaxine\u00a0).\u00a0These drugs can affect or be affected by oxycodone, and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions, including in the muscles that control eye movements, sudden movements, heavy sweating, tremors, excessive reflexive movements, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38 \u00b0 C.\u00a0Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis with food, drink, and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone Actavis can be taken with or without food with a sufficient amount of fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grapefruit juice<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grapefruit juice can impair the breakdown of oxycodone, which increases its effectiveness.\u00a0Therefore, you should avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Oxikodon Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alcohol<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you drink alcohol while using Oxikodon Actavis, it may make you feel more sleepy or increase the risk of serious\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as\u00a0shallow breathing with a risk of respiratory arrest and unconsciousness.\u00a0You should not drink alcohol while using Oxikodon Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are pregnant, you should avoid taking Oxikodon Actavis if possible. There is insufficient experience with oxycodone treatment in pregnant women. Oxycodone passes through the placenta into the bloodstream of the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prolonged use of oxycodone during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.\u00a0The use of oxycodone during labor can cause severe breathing problems in the newborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should not take Oxycodone Actavis during the breastfeeding period as oxycodone passes into breast milk and may cause breathing problems in the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Oxycodone impairs the ability to concentrate and react to such an extent that the ability to drive and use machines is affected or disappears altogether. For possible side effects affecting driving ability and concentration, see section 4 \u201cPossible side effects\u201d. During stable treatment, it is not necessary to ban driving in general. The treating physician must evaluate the individual situation. Discuss with your doctor if and under what circumstances you can drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0The description of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
