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:
Palladone SR capsules should be administered at 12-hourly intervals.
The dosage is dependent upon the severity of the pain
and the patient's previous history of analgesic requirements. 4 mg of
hydromorphone hydrochloride has an analgesic efficacy
equivalent to 30 mg of morphine sulphate given orally. 2 mg, 4 mg, 8
mg, 16 mg and 24 mg capsules are available.
Treatment should normally be started at a dosage of 4 mg prolonged
release hydromorphone hydrochloride 12-hourly.
Increasing severity of pain will require an increased dosage of
hydromorphone hydrochloride prolonged release products
alone or in combination with immediate release hydromorphone product
to achieve the desired relief.
Patients who are not currently receiving opioids should be titrated
with immediate release hydromorphone hydrochloride
initially, prior to changing to Palladone SR capsules.
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).
Paediatric population
Not recommended for use in children under 12 years.
Elderly
As with adults, the elderly
