OxyContin is not intended for use as a prn analgesic.
The usual starting dose for opioid naï ve patients or patients presenting with severe pain uncontrolled by weaker opioids is 10 mg, 12-hourly. Some patients may benefit from a starting dose of 5 mg to minimise the incidence of side effects. The dose should then be carefully titrated, as frequently as once a day if necessary, to achieve pain relief.
OxyContin should not be used in patients under 18 years of age.
Generally, the lowest effective dose for analgesia should be selected. Increasing severity of pain will require an increased dosage of OxyContin tablets, using the different tablet strengths, either alone or in combination, to achieve pain relief. The correct dosage for any individual patient is that which controls the pain and is well tolerated for a full 12 hours. Patients should be titrated to pain relief unless unmanageable adverse drug reactions prevent this.
