Dosage & administration

* Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals.
* Individualize dosing based on the severity of pain, patient response, prior analgesic experience, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse.
* 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 NUCYNTA tablets. Consider prescribing naloxone based on the patient's risk factors for overdose .
* Initiate treatment with NUCYNTA tablets at a dose of 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours depending upon pain intensity. On the first day of dosing, the second dose may be administered as soon as one hour after the first dose, if adequate pain relief is not attained with the first dose. Subsequent dosing is 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours and should be adjusted to maintain adequate analgesia with acceptable tolerability. Daily doses greater than 700 mg on the first day of therapy and 600 mg on subsequent days have not been studied and are, therefore, not recommended.
* Moderate Hepatic Impairment: Initiate treatment with 50 mg no more than once every 8 hours (maximum of three doses in 24 hours). Monitor closely for respiratory and central nervous system depression.
* Do not stop NUCYNTA tablets abruptly in a physically dependent patient because rapid discontinuation of opioid analgesics has resulted in serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide.
