Hysingla ER (hydrocodone bitartrate)

Hysingla ER 20 MG 24HR Extended Release Oral Tablet

Dosage & Administration

* HYSINGLA ER should be prescribed only by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the use of extended-release/long-acting opioids and how to mitigate the associated risks.
* Daily doses of HYSINGLA ER greater than or equal to 80 mg are only for use in patients in whom tolerance to an opioid of comparable potency has been established.
* Patients considered opioid-tolerant are those taking, for one week or longer, at least 60 mg oral morphine per day, 25 mcg transdermal fentanyl per hour, 30 mg oral oxycodone per day, 8 mg oral hydromorphone per day, 25 mg oral oxymorphone per day, 60 mg oral hydrocodone per day, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid.
* Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals . Reserve titration to higher doses of HYSINGLA ER for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks.
* Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's underlying cause and severity of pain, prior analgesic treatment and response, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse.
* Respiratory depression can occur at any time during opioid therapy, especially when initiating and following dosage increases with HYSINGLA ER. Consider this risk when selecting an initial dose and when making dose adjustments.
* Discuss availability of naloxone with the patient and caregiver and assess each patient's need for access to naloxone, both when initiating and renewing treatment with HYSINGLA ER. Consider prescribing naloxone based on the patient's risk factors for overdose
* Instruct patients to swallow HYSINGLA ER intact, and not to crush, chew, or dissolve the tablets (risk of potentially fatal overdose).
* Instruct patients to take tablets one at a time, with enough water to ensure complete swallowing immediately after placing in the mouth
* For opioid-naïve patients, initiate with 20 mg tablets orally every 24 hours.
* To convert to HYSINGLA ER from another opioid, follow the conversion instructions to obtain an estimated dose.
* Dose titration of HYSINGLA ER may occur every 3 to 5 days
* Patients with Severe Hepatic Impairment: Initiate dosing with one half of the recommended starting dosage and titrate carefully. Regularly evaluate for respiratory depression, sedation, and hypotension.
* Patients with Moderate to Severe Renal Impairment and End-Stage Renal Disease: Initiate dosing at one half the recommended starting dosage and titrate carefully. Regularly evaluate for signs of respiratory depression, sedation, and hypotension.
* Do not abruptly discontinue HYSINGLA ER in a physically dependent patient because rapid discontinuation of opioid analgesics has resulted in serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide.
