What Is The Interval Time To Give Another Dose Of Endone?
Question: What is the interval time to give another dose of 5mg endone if I have just administered it to a patient at 10am for example, as a Registered Nurse?
Brief Answer:
Next dose might be given at 2 pm or 4 pm depending on pain relief
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Endone contains 5 mg of oxycodone which is a pain relief medicine.
2. The recommended dose is one tablet 4 to 6 hours in adults.
3. Therefore if one tablet has been administered at 10 am then the next dose might be given at 2 pm to 4 pm depending on pain relief.
Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
