Contextualising opioid-related risk factors before an initial opioid prescription
When asked about the similarities between the region of Valencia, Spain and the State of Oregon in the USA, an artificial-intelligence (AI)-driven chatbot poetically listed several common features, such as natural beauty, strong focus on agricultural industries including wine production, extensive outdoor activities and a shared commitment to sustainable practices. But are there similarities in healthcare delivery, considering vastly different systems and significant practice variability, particularly regarding the management of pain and the role of opioid analgesics? Here, the differences emerge. Oxycodone and hydrocodone...

Oxycodone, an opioid like the others?
The over-prescription of opioid analgesics is a growing problem in the field of addiction, which has reached epidemic-like proportions in North America. Over the past decade, oxycodone has gained attention as the leading opioid responsible for the North America opioid crisis. Oxycodone is the most incriminated drug in the early years of the epidemic of opioid use disorder in USA (roughly 1999–2016). The number of preclinical articles on oxycodone is rapidly increasing. Several publications have already compared oxycodone with other opioids, focusing mainly on their analgesic properties. The aim of this review is to focus...

A Retrospective Observational Study of Factors Affecting the Efficacy of Concurrent Prescription of Naldemedine for Opioid-Induced Constipation Caused by Oxycodone Tablets
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023;46(12):1826-1831. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b23-00487.ABSTRACTNaldemedine is indicated for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC), but reports on its efficacy in preventing OIC are few. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated factors affecting the efficacy of concurrent prescription of naldemedine on OIC. Outpatients with cancer who were started on oxycodone 10 mg/d were included in the study. The eligible patients were classified by their physicians into the following three groups: Group A used regular laxatives before the introduction of oxycodone and initiated naldemedine treatment simultaneo...
