Published Studies Related to Percodan (Oxycodone / Aspirin)
Oxycontin: the concept of a "ghost pill" and the postmortem tissue distribution of oxycodone in 36 cases. [2002.10]
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is structurally similar to codeine and equipotent to morphine in producing analgesic effects.The tissue distribution ranges of oxycodone in the 36 case examples were heart blood 0.12-46 mg/L (36), femoral blood + < 0.10-13 mg/L (35), liver 0.11-6.1 mg/kg (16), urine 2.5-122 mg/L (22), bile 0.19-49 mg/L (15), vitreous 0.24-0.82 mg/L (6), and gastric 0.06-119 mg total (21).
The relative potency between high dose oral oxycodone and intravenous morphine: a case illustration. [1999.07]
Oxycodone is an effective opioid analgesic for cancer pain. In the United States, it is available exclusively as an oral formulation, predominantly in fixed dose combination with acetaminophen or aspirin...
Clinical Trials Related to Percodan (Oxycodone / Aspirin)
A Study Comparing Oxycodone to Oxycodone/Naloxone in Moderate to Severe, Chronic Cancer Pain [Recruiting]
Oxycodone-Naloxone Prolonged Release Tablets in Relieving Opioid-Related Constipation [Active, not recruiting]
Oxycodone-Naloxone in Relieving Opioid-Related Constipation [Active, not recruiting]
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that subjects with moderate to severe
non-malignant pain taking oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release tablets have improvement in
symptoms of constipation compared to subjects taking oxycodone prolonged release tablets
alone.
Morphine vs. Oxycodone for Postoperative Pain Management [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oxycodone provides better analgesia
compared to morphine after laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy.
Efficacy and Safety of Fentanyl Buccal Tablets Compared With Oxycodone for the Management of Break Through Pain [Recruiting]

release oxycodone in alleviating breakthrough pain in opioid tolerant patients with chronic
pain.
