Oxyir (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) - Indications and Dosage

 
 



INDICATIONS AND USAGE

For the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING OXYFAST ORAL CONCENTRATE 20 MG/1 ML SOLUTION

OXYFAST 20 mg/1 mL solution is a highly concentrated solution. Care should be taken in the prescription and dispensing of this solution strength. Patients should be instructed against use by individuals other than the patient, as inappropriate use may cause acute overdosage.

Dosage should be adjusted to the severity of the pain and the response of the patient. It may occasionally be necessary to exceed the usual dosage recommended below in cases of more severe pain or in those patients who have become tolerant to the analgesic effects of opioids. This drug is given orally. The usual adult dosage is 5 mg every 6 hours as needed for pain.

NURSE/PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS

Fill dropper to the level of the prescribed dose (1.0 mL=20 mg; 0.75 mL=15 mg; 0.5 mL=10 mg and 0.25 mL=5 mg). For ease of administration, add dose to approximately 30 mL (1 Fl Oz) or more of juice or other liquid. May also be added to applesauce, pudding or other semi-solid foods. The drug-food mixture should be used immediately and not stored for future use.
