An Entity of Type: combination drug, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Oxycodone/naloxone, sold under the trade name Targin and Targinact (in the UK) among others, is a combination pain medication. It is available as modified-release tablets and is taken by mouth. The oxycodone component is an opioid and is responsible for the pain-relieving effects. Naloxone opposes the effects of opioids but is poorly absorbed into the body when given orally, meaning almost all the dose stays within the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the local side effects from the oxycodone, namely constipation as the naloxone binds to the opioid receptors in the gut, preventing the opioid from attaching. This does not affect its analgesic efficacy compared to Oxycontin. Constipation was significantly relieved in a 2008 study. The drug was released in 2006 in Germany and is available i

dbo:abstract
  • Oxycodone/naloxone, sold under the trade name Targin and Targinact (in the UK) among others, is a combination pain medication. It is available as modified-release tablets and is taken by mouth. The oxycodone component is an opioid and is responsible for the pain-relieving effects. Naloxone opposes the effects of opioids but is poorly absorbed into the body when given orally, meaning almost all the dose stays within the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the local side effects from the oxycodone, namely constipation as the naloxone binds to the opioid receptors in the gut, preventing the opioid from attaching. This does not affect its analgesic efficacy compared to Oxycontin. Constipation was significantly relieved in a 2008 study. The drug was released in 2006 in Germany and is available in some other European countries since 2009. In the UK, the 10 mg oxycodone / 5 mg naloxone and 20 mg/10 mg strengths were approved in December 2008, and the 40 mg/20 mg and 5 mg/10 mg strengths in July 2019. (en)

  • Targiniq är ett läkemedel som innehåller både oxikodon och naloxon. Det används vid olika smärttillstånd som oxikodon är godkänt för. Dessutom är Targiniq den enda opioid som är godkänd även för att behandla Willis–Ekboms sjukdom, även kallad restless legs, där behandling med dopaminagonister inte är tillräcklig eller om biverkningarna är för påtagliga. Eftersom läkemedlet även innehåller naloxon förhindras opioidinducerad förstoppning. (sv)
