BLACK BOX WARNING

Dosage & administration

* To be prescribed only by healthcare providers knowledgeable in use of potent opioids for management of chronic pain.
* OXYCONTIN 60 mg and 80 mg tablets, a single dose greater than 40 mg, or a total daily dose greater than 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.
* Individualize dosing based on the severity of pain, patient response, prior analgesic experience, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse.
* Instruct patients to swallow tablets intact and not to cut, break, chew, crush, or dissolve tablets (risk of potentially fatal dose).
* Instruct patients to take tablets one at a time, with enough water to ensure complete swallowing immediately after placing in mouth.
* 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 OXYCONTIN. Consider prescribing naloxone based on the patient’s risk factors for overdose .
* Do not abruptly discontinue OXYCONTIN in a physically dependent patient because rapid discontinuation of opioid analgesics has resulted in serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide.

Adults: For opioid-naïve and opioid non-tolerant patients, initiate with 10 mg tablets orally every 12 hours. See full prescribing information for instructions on conversion from opioids to OXYCONTIN, titration and maintenance of therapy.
Pediatric Patients 11 Years of Age and Older

* For use only in pediatric patients 11 years and older already receiving and tolerating opioids for at least 5 consecutive days with a minimum of 20 mg per day of oxycodone or its equivalent for at least two days immediately preceding dosing with OXYCONTIN.
* See full prescribing information for instructions on conversion from opioids to OXYCONTIN, titration and maintenance of therapy.

Geriatric Patients: In debilitated, opioid non-tolerant geriatric patients, initiate dosing at one third to one half the recommended starting dosage and titrate carefully.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Initiate dosing at one third to one half the recommended starting dosage and titrate carefully.
