Oxycodone/Acetaminophen tablets (branded and
generic) are now available in 4 strengths: 2.5 mg / 325 mg, 5 mg / 325
mg, 7.5 mg / 500 mg, and 10 mg / 650 mg. The Kentucky Board of Pharmacy
requires a specified strength on ALL oxycodone/acetaminophen
prescriptions; verbal clarification is not permitted for the schedule II
controlled substance. The use of one oxycodone/acetaminophen product is
a cost-effective answer to the potential confusion with multiple
strength products.
The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee has approved the automatic stocking and dispensing only one strength tablet – 5 mg oxycodone / 325 mg acetaminophen. If the liquid formulation should be dispensed, that should be indicated on the medication order. |
