What is the most important information you should know about PRIMLEV?
PRIMLEV™ (oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets, CII) is a strong prescription pain medicine that contains an opioid (narcotic) that is used to manage pain severe enough to require an opioid medication, and for which alternative treatments such as non-opioid pain medicines do not treat your pain well enough or you cannot tolerate them.
Opioid pain medicines can put you at risk for overdose and death. Even if you take your dose correctly as prescribed, you are at risk for opioid addiction, abuse and misuse that can lead to death.
Get emergency help right away if you take too much PRIMLEV (overdose). When you first start taking PRIMLEV, when your dose is changed, or if you take too much (overdose), serious or life-threatening breathing problems that can lead to death may occur.
Taking PRIMLEV with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants (including street drugs) can cause severe drowsiness, decreased awareness, breathing problems, coma, and death.
Never give anyone else your PRIMLEV. They could die from taking it. Store PRIMLEV away from children and in a safe place to prevent stealing or abuse. Selling or giving away PRIMLEV is against the law.
