Acetaminophen Suspension and Oxycodone and naltrexone

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Using naltrexone together with oxyCODONE is not recommended. Naltrexone can block the effects of oxyCODONE and make the medication less effective in treating your condition. If you have been receiving oxyCODONE for a while (for example, a week or longer), naltrexone can also precipitate withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

CONTRAINDICATED: Naltrexone can antagonize the effects of opioids via competitive inhibition of opioid receptors. Patients receiving naltrexone may not benefit from opioid-containing medications such as cough and cold products, antidiarrheal preparations, and narcotic analgesics. Likewise, patients dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal symptoms when given naltrexone. Following use of naltrexone, patients may have increased sensitivity to opioids.

**Note: This warning does not apply to opioid products that are specifically formulated with naltrexone to deter abuse via snorting or intravenous injection when crushed.**

MANAGEMENT: The use of naltrexone is considered contraindicated in patients receiving opioids or dependent on opioids, including those maintained on opiate agonists (e.g., methadone) or partial agonists (e.g., buprenorphine). Naltrexone should also not be given to patients in acute opioid withdrawal. In an urgent situation when analgesia may be required in a patient who has received full blocking doses of naltrexone, consideration should be given to regional analgesia, conscious sedation with a benzodiazepine, use of non-opioid analgesics, or general anesthesia. If opioid analgesia is required, the amount of opioid needed may be greater than usual, and the resulting respiratory depression may be deeper and more prolonged. A rapidly-acting opioid analgesic that minimizes the duration of respiratory depression is preferred. Clinicians should be aware that reversal of full naltrexone blockade by administration of large doses of opiates can cause histamine release. Therefore, patients may experience non-opioid receptor-mediated effects such as facial swelling, itching, generalized erythema, and bronchoconstriction. Irrespective of the drug chosen to reverse naltrexone blockade, the patient should be monitored closely by appropriately trained personnel in a setting equipped and staffed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
