Oxycodone Teva:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are elderly or debilitated.<\/li><li>if your lung, liver, or kidney function is severely impaired.<\/li><li>if you have\u00a0myxedema\u00a0(a certain disease of the thyroid gland), impaired thyroid function.<\/li><li>if you have impaired adrenal function (adrenal glands do not work properly), such

before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone Teva should be used with special caution in patients who are or have previously been addicted to drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other\u00a0opioids, Oxycodone Teva 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See section 4 \u201cPossible side effects\u201d for information on preventive measures that can be used to alleviate certain\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone Teva has a primary dependence potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the medicine is used for a long time, tolerance to the effects can arise, and this means that an increased\u00a0dose\u00a0is required to maintain pain control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic&nbsp;use of Oxycodone Teva may lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms may occur with abrupt discontinuation of treatment.&nbsp;When you no longer need treatment with Oxycodone Teva, it is advisable to reduce the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of developing physical or psychological dependence is small when the drug is used as&nbsp;prescribed&nbsp;by patients suffering from&nbsp;chronic&nbsp;pain.&nbsp;Discuss this with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In rare cases, an increased sensitivity to pain, which does not respond to increased&nbsp;dosing&nbsp;, may develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens, tell your doctor, who will reduce the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one or switch to another type of opioid painkiller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or hospital staff that you are using these capsules if you are having surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone Teva is NOT recommended for children under 12 years of age, as safety and efficacy have not been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elderly patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In elderly patients without renal and \/ or hepatic impairment, no dose adjustment is usually required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Oxycodone Teva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take these capsules together with other medicines, the effect of these capsules or the other medicine may increase or decrease.&nbsp;The risk of&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;may increase.&nbsp;Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a type of medicine called&nbsp;monoamine oxidase inhibitor&nbsp;(&nbsp;MAOI&nbsp;), or if you have been taking this medicine for the last two weeks (see section \u201cWarnings and precautions\u201d),<\/li><li>medicines that help you sleep or stay calm (eg&nbsp;hypnotics&nbsp;or&nbsp;sedatives&nbsp;, including&nbsp;benzodiazepines&nbsp;),<\/li><li>medicines used to treat depression (eg&nbsp;paroxetine&nbsp;or&nbsp;fluoxetine&nbsp;),<\/li><li>medicines used to treat psychiatric or mental illnesses (such as phenothiazines or neuroleptic medicines),<\/li><li>other strong painkillers (&nbsp;opioids&nbsp;),<\/li><li>muscle relaxants,<\/li><li>quinidine&nbsp;(a drug used to treat rapid heartbeat),<\/li><li>cimetidine (a medicine used to&nbsp;treat stomach ulcers&nbsp;, indigestion or heartburn),<\/li><li>medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as&nbsp;ketoconazole&nbsp;, voriconazole, itraconazole or posaconazole),<\/li><li>drugs used to treat bacterial infections (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin or telithromycin),<\/li><li>a specific drug called&nbsp;protease inhibitor&nbsp;used to treat&nbsp;HIV&nbsp;(eg boceprevir, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquvinavir),<\/li><li>rifampicin to treat&nbsp;tuberculosis&nbsp;,<\/li><li>carbamazepine (a medicine for seizures, seizures, tremors and certain pain conditions),<\/li><li>phenytoin&nbsp;(a medicine for seizures, seizures and tremors),<\/li><li>St. John&#8217;s wort&nbsp;, a traditional herbal medicine (&nbsp;<em>Hypericum Perforatum<\/em>&nbsp;),<\/li><li>medicines used to treat&nbsp;allergies&nbsp;(&nbsp;antihistamines&nbsp;) or vomiting (antiemetics),<\/li><li>medicines used to treat&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;,<\/li><li>coumarin-type anticoagulants&nbsp;(medicines that reduce the blood&#8217;s ability to clot).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also tell your doctor if you have recently been anesthetized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concomitant use of Oxycodone Teva with sedatives or sleeping pills such as&nbsp;benzodiazepines&nbsp;or similar medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulty breathing (&nbsp;respiratory depression&nbsp;),&nbsp;coma&nbsp;and may be life threatening.&nbsp;Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your doctor prescribes Oxycodone Teva at the same time as sedatives, the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;and treatment time should be limited by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are taking any sedatives and carefully follow your doctor&#8217;s dose recommendations.&nbsp;It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives about paying attention to the signs and symptoms described above.&nbsp;Contact a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;is increased if you take antidepressant drugs (for example,&nbsp;citalopram&nbsp;, duloxetine, escitalopram,&nbsp;fluoxetine&nbsp;, fluvoxamine,&nbsp;paroxetine&nbsp;,&nbsp;sertraline&nbsp;,&nbsp;venlafaxine&nbsp;).&nbsp;These 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.&nbsp;Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oxycodone Teva with food, drink and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone Teva can be taken with or without food with a sufficient amount of fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Grapefruit juice<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grapefruit juice can impair the breakdown of oxycodone, which increases its effect.&nbsp;Therefore, you should avoid drinking grapefruit juice when using Oxycodone Teva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alcohol<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you drink alcohol while using Oxycodone Teva, it may make you feel more sleepy or increase the risk of serious&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;such as&nbsp;<strong>shallow breathing with risk of respiratory arrest and unconsciousness<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;You&nbsp;<strong>should NOT<\/strong>&nbsp;drink alcohol while using Oxycodone Teva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, 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<p>The use of Oxycodone Teva should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy and lactation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are limited data from treatment of pregnant women with oxycodone.&nbsp;Use of oxycodone during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.&nbsp;Newborns to mothers who have received oxycodone during the last 3-4 weeks before delivery may have severe breathing difficulties.&nbsp;Oxycodone Teva should only be used during pregnancy if the benefit outweighs the potential risks to the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone can pass into breast milk and may cause breathing difficulties in the newborn baby.&nbsp;Oxycodone Teva should therefore not be used during breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxycodone impairs the ability to concentrate and react to such an extent that the ability to drive and use machines is affected or ceases completely.&nbsp;See section 4 \u201cPossible side effects\u201d for possible&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;that may affect your ability to drive and concentrate.&nbsp;With stable&nbsp;dosing&nbsp;, it may not be necessary to ban driving.&nbsp;The attending physician must assess the situation individually.&nbsp;<strong>Discuss with your doctor if and under what circumstances you can drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and \/ or&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;.&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
