Oxymorphone hydrochloride tablets are an opioid agonist indicated for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. (1)
Limitations of Use:
Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration and persist over the course of therapy, reserve opioid analgesics, including oxymorphone hydrochloride tablets for use in patients for whom alterative treatment options are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain.
