Roxycontin (Oxycodone) 30mg tablets
Dosage:
- Roxycontin 30mg tablets contain oxycodone hydrochloride in an extended-release formulation.
- The dosage is determined based on the severity of pain, patient’s response to opioid therapy, and individual opioid tolerance.
- It’s crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider or as indicated on the prescription label.
Uses:
- Roxycontin (oxycodone) is a potent opioid analgesic used for the management of severe pain that requires continuous, around-the-clock opioid treatment and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.
- It provides long-lasting pain relief by slowly releasing oxycodone into the bloodstream over 12 hours.
Side Effects:
- Common Side Effects: Common side effects of Roxycontin 30mg tablets may include constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, and sweating.
- Respiratory Depression: Roxycontin, like other opioids, can cause respiratory depression, especially at higher doses. This effect can be life-threatening, particularly in opioid-naive individuals or when combined with other central nervous system depressants.
- Potential for Abuse: Roxycontin has a high potential for abuse, addiction, and misuse. It should be used with caution in individuals with a history of substance abuse or addiction.
- Physical Dependence and Withdrawal: Prolonged use of Roxycontin can lead to physical dependence, and abrupt discontinuation may result in withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, insomnia, sweating, and muscle aches.
