Description

Oxycodone 40mg ER Rx (“Oxy40 Faroxy-ER”)

Oxycodone ER 40mg is a long-acting, extended-release opioid analgesic prescribed for the management of severe, persistent pain requiring continuous, around-the-clock opioid therapy. The ER formulation slowly releases oxycodone over many hours, providing stable and sustained pain control without rapid peaks.

This dosage is considered high-strength and is prescribed only to opioid-tolerant patients who have already been safely stabilized on lower opioid doses.

Therapeutic Uses (Under Medical Supervision)

Chronic Severe Pain

Used in cases where patients need consistent, long-duration pain relief—such as advanced medical conditions, major injury recovery, or long-term illness.

Extended-Release Pain Control

Provides a slow, steady release of medication to maintain stable analgesia throughout the day.

Management for Opioid-Tolerant Patients

Prescribed only after careful evaluation to ensure the patient can safely tolerate higher opioid doses.

Palliative & Hospice Care

Often used to support comfort and quality of life in palliative settings, with exact dosing managed closely by clinical professionals.

• Misuse may cause life-threatening respiratory depression.

• Must not be taken with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives.

• Store securely to prevent accidental or unauthorized access.

• Changes in dosage, including stopping the medication, must be guided by a healthcare provider to avoid withdrawal.

• Intended only for patients under active medical supervision.
