Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Oxycodone HCl 40 mg Slow Release Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent opioid analgesic specifically formulated for the management of moderate to severe pain conditions. The capsules are designed with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer, which ensures the gradual release of the encapsulated medication over an extended period. This slow-release mechanism provides sustained therapeutic effects, reducing the need for frequent dosing and thereby improving patient compliance.

As a long-acting opioid, Oxycodone HCl is released slowly over time, providing consistent and prolonged pain relief. However, it is crucial to note that Oxycodone HCl is not suitable for treating mild pain or pain that can be effectively managed with other medications. Due to its potential for misuse, abuse, or addiction, patients prescribed with Oxycodone HCl should be closely monitored.

Furthermore, Oxycodone HCl should not be used in conjunction with other opioids, alcohol, or sedatives due to the risk of dangerous interactions. Patients are also advised to refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery while under the influence of Oxycodone HCl due to its potential to impair physical and cognitive functions. For any further queries or concerns regarding this medication, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
