OxyNorm 1mg/ml Liquid is an immediate-release, prescription-only strong opioid analgesic. The 250ml bottle contains Oxycodone Hydrochloride (1mg per 1ml).
It is prescribed for the fast relief of severe pain that cannot be managed by non-opioid pain relievers or weaker opioids. It is also commonly used as a fast-acting "breakthrough" pain medication for patients already taking long-acting (prolonged-release) pain relief like OxyContin.
OxyNorm Liquid provides rapid, flexible pain control:
Immediate-Release Opioid Action: Oxycodone acts on central nervous system mu-opioid receptors to quickly block pain signals sent to the brain.
Fast Onset: Because it is a liquid, it is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, typically beginning to relieve severe pain within 15 to 30 minutes and reaching peak effect within 1 hour.
Flexible Dosing: The 1mg/ml concentration allows for precise dose adjustments, especially for swallowing difficulties or small titration increments.
Black Box Warning: OxyNorm contains oxycodone, a Class B / Schedule II controlled narcotic. Regular use leads to physical dependence and tolerance. Misuse or accidental overdose can cause fatal respiratory depression (slowed or stopped breathing).
Overdose Prevention: Always use an accurate medical measuring cup or oral syringe provided with the bottle to measure your dose. Never estimate doses using kitchen teaspoons or tablespoons.
Severe Interaction: Do not consume alcohol while taking OxyNorm. Combining this medicine with alcohol, sleeping tablets, or anti-anxiety drugs (benzodiazepines) can cause extreme drowsiness, respiratory arrest, coma, or death.
Standard Adult Dosing (Opioid-Naïve Patients):
Typically 5ml (5mg) taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for severe pain.
Doses are individually tailored and adjusted by your physician.
How to Take:
Measure the liquid accurately using an oral syringe or dosing cup.
May be taken with or without food, but take it the same way every time.
Drink a small glass of water after swallowing.
Opioid side effects are common, especially when starting treatment:
Very Common: Constipation (your doctor may prescribe a stool softener/laxative), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Common: Dry mouth, sweating, headache, itching, or loss of appetite.
Severe (Emergency): Extremely slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness/inability to wake up, or blue lips/fingernails.
Store upright in its original container to protect from light.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
Keep the bottle neck clean and the cap tightly closed after each use.
Keep strictly stored in a locked cabinet away from children and unauthorized individuals.
OxyNorm Liquid is an immediate-release formula designed to relieve pain quickly (lasting 4–6 hours). OxyContin is a prolonged-release tablet designed to release medicine slowly over 12 hours for continuous baseline pain control.
