Health Products Regulatory Authority 04 September 2023 CRN00CST8 Page 1 of 9 SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Palladone SR 2 mg prolonged release capsules, hard 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Palladone SR 2 mg capsules contain hydromorphone hydrochloride 2 mg equivalent to 1.78 mg hydromorphone. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Prolonged release capsule, hard. (prolonged release capsule) Palladone SR 2 mg capsules are gelatin capsules with opaque white bodies and opaque yellow caps marked HCR2 containing white to off-white spherical pellets. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS For the relief of severe pain. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Posology Adults and adolescents over 12 years: The dosage is dependent upon the severity of the pain and the patient's previous history of analgesic requirements. 1.3 mg of hydromorphone hydrochloride has an efficacy equivalent to 10 mg of morphine sulphate given orally. 1.3 mg and 2.6 mg capsules are available. Treatment should normally be started at a dosage of 1.3 mg or 2.6 mg hydromorphone hydrochloride 4 hourly. Increasing severity of pain will require increased dosage of hydromorphone using 1.3 mg and 2.6 mg capsules alone or in combination with prolonged release hydromorphone products to achieve the desired relief. Transferring patients between oral and parental hydromorphone: Switching patients from parenteral hydromorphone to oral hydromorphone should be guided by the sensitivity of the individual patient. The oral starting dose should not be overestimated (for oral bioavailability see section 5.2). Elderly As with adults, the elderly should be dose-titrated with _PALLADONE_capsules in order to achieve adequate analgesia. It should be noted however, that the elderly may require a lower dosage than adults to achieve adequate analgesia. Paediatric population Not recommended for use in children under 12 years.
