4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Route of administration:
Oral
_Post-operative pain:_
In common with other strong opioids, the need for continued treatment
should be
assessed at regural intervals.
_Elderly and adults over 18 years:_
_OXYNORM_ liquid should be taken at 4-6 hourly intervals. The dosage
is dependent on
the severity of the pain, and the patient’s previous history of
analgesic requirements.
Increasing severity of pain will require an increased dosage of
_OXYNORM_ liquid. The
correct dosage for any individual patient is that which controls the
pain and is well
tolerated throughout the dosing period. Patients should be titrated to
pain relief unless
unmanageable adverse drug reactions prevent this.
The usual starting dose for opioid naïve patients or patients
presenting with severe
pain uncontrolled by weaker opioids is 5 mg, 4-6 hourly. The dose
should then be
carefully titrated, as frequently as once a day if necessary, to
achieve pain relief. The
SPCOXL01v1.02a
majority of patients will not require a daily dose greater than 400
mg. However, a few
patients may require higher doses.
Patients receiving oral morphine before oxycodone therapy should have
their daily
dose based on the following ratio: 10 mg of oral oxycodone is
equivalent to 20 mg of
oral morphine. It must be emphasised that this is a guide to the dose
of _OXYNORM_
liquid required. Inter-patient variability requires that each patient
is carefully titrated
to the appropriate
