Combunox Patient, Information, Instructions - Oxycodone HCL and Ibuprofen

PATIENT INFORMATION

Combunox, similar to other opioid-containing analgesics, may impair mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery; patients should be cautioned accordingly.

The combination of this product with alcohol and other CNS depressants may produce an additive CNS depression and should be avoided.

Combunox can be abused in a manner similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit. Patients should take the drug only for as long as it is prescribed, in the amounts prescribed, and no more frequently than prescribed.

Combunox, like other drugs containing ibuprofen, is not free of side effects. The side effects of these drugs can cause discomfort and, rarely, there are more serious side effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, which may result in hospitalization and even fatal outcomes. Patients should be instructed to report any signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding, blurred vision or other eye problems, skin rash, weight gain, or edema.
