Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Alcohol taken with oxymorphone increases sedation and respiratory depression and can be fatal. With the extended-release oxymorphone formulation, alcohol can also cause rapid release of the whole dose (dose dumping), leading to a potentially lethal overdose.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ethanol and Oxymorphone are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Additive CNS depression, plus alcohol-induced disruption of the extended-release formulation that raises peak oxymorphone exposure.

Cosa fare

Instruct patients to avoid alcohol and any alcohol-containing medicines during oxymorphone therapy. Extended-release oxymorphone is contraindicated with alcohol.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
