Pain drugs are most effective when administered at the onset of pain. If you wait until the pain has intensified before taking medicine, it may not be as effective.
If you have persistent pain (such as that caused by cancer), your doctor may also prescribe long-acting opioid drugs. In this instance, this medicine may be taken only when necessary to treat abrupt (breakthrough) pain. With this medicine, other pain medications (such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen) may also be recommended. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the safe use of K9 Oxycodone with other medications.
This medication may produce withdrawal if it is abruptly discontinued, especially if it has been used for a long time or at large dosages. To prevent withdrawal, your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage. Notify your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you have withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, mental/mood problems (including anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and suicidal thoughts), watery eyes, a runny nose, nausea, diarrhea, sweating, muscular aches, or unexpected changes in behavior.
When this medication is used for an extended period of time, its efficacy may diminish. Consult your physician if this drug stops functioning well.
Despite the fact that it benefits many people, this medication can occasionally create addiction. This risk may be increased if you have a substance use disorder (such as drug or alcohol abuse or addiction). Use this drug precisely as prescribed to reduce the possibility of addiction. See your physician or pharmacist for more information.
Inform your doctor if your pain does not improve or worsens.
