OxyContin® provides pain relief and produces feelings of euphoria. However, it has several serious side effects that can harm patients. Learn more about the dangers of OxyContin® below. If you have experienced any of the side effects described on this page, contact an OxyContin® lawyer and schedule a consultation and case review.
OxyContin® (a form of oxycodone) is an opiate-like synthetic narcotic that is similar to morphine and that is highly addictive. The medication acts on certain areas of the brain, causing temporary pain relief. Less serious OxyContin® side effects include constipation, nausea, sleepiness, dizziness, vomiting, headache, dry mouth, sweating, and weakness. Overdose symptoms include accelerated or depressed heartbeat, difficulty breathing, hives or rashes, hallucinations, vomiting, and dizziness. OxyContin® overdoses can cause brain damage, coma, respiratory failure, and death. Addiction can occur after only five to seven days of use. Suddenly stopping OxyContin® use can send a person into withdrawal. If after taking the drug you experience any OxyContin® side effects, contact a physician immediately.
In light of OxyContin®'s serious side effects, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently strengthened the warnings and precautions required on the labeling of the drug. These changes include a "black box warning," the strongest type of warning for any FDA-approved drug. The new warnings are intended to lessen the chance that OxyContin® will be prescribed inappropriately for pain of lesser severity than the approved use or for other disorders or conditions inappropriate for a Schedule II narcotic.
