IRACODONE 5 mg (Oxycodone Hydrochloride)

Adult dose

This drug is for adults 18 years of age and older and should not be administered to children or adolescents under 18 years of age. For patients with chronic pain, rather than administering the drug whenever pain occurs, administer it at regular intervals (4～6 hours) at the lowest dose that prevents recurrence of pain and provides adequate analgesia. Patients not previously treated with opioid analgesics: The usual initial dose is 5 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride hydrate every 4～6 hours. Adjust the dose according to the individual patient's response to the initial dose and the severity of adverse reactions. Switching from fixed-ratio opioid/acetaminophen, opioid/aspirin, or opioid/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug combination analgesics: When switching from a fixed-ratio opioid/non-opioid analgesic regimen to this drug, determine whether to continue the non-opioid analgesic. If use of the non-opioid analgesic is to be discontinued, titrate the dose of this drug according to the level of analgesia and adverse reactions associated with the medication regimen. If continuing the non-opioid analgesic as a separate single-ingredient product, set the initial dose of this drug based on the most recent opioid dose as a baseline for subsequent dose increases. Adjust the dose according to the individual patient's response and the severity of adverse reactions. Switching patients currently taking opioid analgesics: When switching from another opioid analgesic regimen to this drug, determine the initial dose by calculating the potency and conversion ratio of the existing analgesic. 10 mg of this drug is equivalent to 20 mg of oral morphine.

Child dose

Do not administer to children or adolescents under 18 years of age.

This medication is an analgesic that acts on the central nervous system, and taking it with narcotics or benzodiazepine medications or alcohol can cause severe drowsiness, respiratory distress, loss of consciousness, and potentially death. Therefore, when taking this medication with such drugs, it should be used only when absolutely necessary, at the minimum dose for a short period, and respiratory conditions and changes in consciousness should be carefully monitored. This medication should not be used in patients who have allergies to it, severe respiratory distress, exacerbated asthma attacks, certain lung diseases, heart failure, seizure disorders, acute alcohol intoxication, hemorrhagic colitis, increased intracranial pressure, or similar conditions. Additionally, patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18 years of age, and patients with specific genetic metabolic disorders should not use this medication. Patients with weak heart function, hypotension, shock, metabolic acidosis, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency should use this drug with extra caution. This medication may lead to tolerance upon repeated use, as well as physical and psychological dependence, with increased risk of overdose and death in cases of abuse or misuse. Therefore, it is key to adjust the dosage according to a doctor's instructions during use, and to closely monitor for drug-seeking behavior or symptoms of addiction. Elderly or frail patients are more susceptible to respiratory depression, so treatment should start at a lower dose and be administered cautiously. During the use of this medication, drowsiness or dizziness may occur, and driving or operating dangerous machinery should be avoided. Constipation is common, so attention should be given to prevention and treatment of constipation. When combined with other medications, the central nervous system depressant effects may be enhanced and pose risks, particularly when used with benzodiazepines, narcotic analgesics, sleeping pills, antidepressants, or alcohol; therefore, doses should be reduced and closely monitored when used together. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use this medication, particularly during childbirth due to respiratory depression risk in the newborn. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in children, so it is not recommended for those under 18 years of age. In cases of overdose, severe respiratory depression, loss of consciousness, and decreased heart function may occur, thus immediate emergency treatment is necessary, along with appropriate care from professional medical personnel. This medication must be used strictly according to a doctor's prescription and instructions, and it is essential to have a full understanding of the method of intake and precautions before use. Unnecessary use or sharing with others is strictly prohibited.
