Does Oxycodone Hydrochloride And Acetaminophen Interact with Oxycodone?
CDI records a unknown classification for Oxycodone Hydrochloride And Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. The stored summary is: Drug Interactions Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 The concomitant use of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen oral solution and CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g. ketoconazole), and protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir), can increase the plasma concentration of oxycodone, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects. These effects could be more pronounced with concomitant use of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen oral solution and CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen oral solution is achieved [see WARNINGS ]. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug. This record was extracted from drug labeling through openFDA. NIH/NLM RxNorm is used for drug identities. The summary and severity classification are CDI's processed information, not a verbatim source quotation. Product, route, and patient circumstances matter.
