which means that Magnacet (Oral) Generic Name: oxycodone and acetaminophen (Oral route) a-seet-a-MIN-oh-fen, ox-i-KOE-done hye-droe-KLOR-ide Oral route(Tablet;Tablet, Extended Release) Prior to prescribing oxycodone/acetaminophen, assess each patient's risk for opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, and regularly monitor all patients for opioid addiction behaviors and conditions. Monitor for respiratory depression, which can be serious, life-threatening, or fatal, especially during initiation or following a dose increase. Instruct patients to swallow extended release forms whole to avoid potentially fatal overdose. Accidental ingestion of oxycodone/acetaminophen can result in a fatal overdose, especially in children. If prolonged opioid use is necessary during pregnancy, advise patient of potential risk of life-threatening neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure appropriate treatment will be available. Use with CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers may change oxycodone plasma levels resulting in prolonged adverse effects or potentially fatal respiratory depression; monitoring is recommended. Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing for patients with inadequate alternative treatment options, limit dosage and duration to the minimum required, and monitor for respiratory depression and sedation . Acetaminophen has been associated with acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death; most cases are associated with acetaminophen doses that exceed 4000 mg/day and often involved more than 1 acetaminophen-containing product . Overview Side Effects Dosage Professional Interactions More Pregnancy Warnings User Reviews Drug Images Commonly used brand name(s) In the U.S. Endocet Magnacet Narvox Percocet Perloxx Primalev Roxicet Roxilox Tylox Xartemix XR Xolox Available Dosage Forms: Tablet Solution Tablet, Extended Release Capsule Therapeutic Class: Opioid/Acetaminophen Combination Chemical Class: Oxycodone Slideshow Chronic Pain Management: A Healthcare Professional's Guide Uses For Magnacet Oxycodone and acetaminophen combination is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. Acetaminophen is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. It does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time. But acetaminophen may cause other unwanted effects when taken in large doses, including liver damage. Oxycodone belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. When oxycodone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription. Before Using Magnacet In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do.
