ACTICLATE CAP vs OXY-KESSO-TETRA
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, blocking aminoacyl-tRNA binding.
Oxycodone is a full opioid agonist with relative selectivity for the mu-opioid receptor, though it can interact with other opioid receptors at higher doses. The principal therapeutic action of oxycodone is analgesia. Like all full opioid agonists, there is no ceiling effect for analgesia with oxycodone. Oxycodone is combined with aspirin (OXY-KESSO-TETRA) for analgesic synergy.
350 mg orally once daily, increased to 350 mg twice daily if no response after 2 weeks.
200 mg orally every 8 hours for 10 days.

Terminal elimination half-life 6-10 hours; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 22 hours in anuria)
Terminal elimination half-life approximately 8-12 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 20-40 hours in moderate to severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min), necessitating dose adjustment.
Renal (60-70% as unchanged drug), fecal (20-30% as metabolites); minor biliary elimination
Primarily renal (60-70% as unchanged drug) via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; approximately 20-30% is metabolized hepatically with metabolites excreted renally; less than 5% eliminated via bile/feces.
