Addition of the following paragraphs to section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use, in relation to concomitant administration with benzodiazepines and endocrine effects
‘Risks of concomitant administration with benzodiazepines (and other CNS depressants)
Concomitant use of opioids, including Palladone capsules, with benzodiazepines may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Because of these risks, concomitant prescribing of opioids and benzodiazepines should be made only in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate.
If a decision is made to prescribe Palladone capsules concomitantly with benzodiazepines, the lowest effective dosages and minimum durations of concomitant use should be chosen. Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation (see section 4.5).’
‘Opioids, such as hydromorphone, may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal or -gonadal axes. Some changes that can be seen include an increase in serum prolactin, and decreases in plasma cortisol and testosterone. Clinical symptoms may manifest from these hormonal changes.’
Update to section 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction, in relation to concomitant administration with drugs that depress the CNS:
‘Concomitant administration of hydromorphone with drugs that depress the CNS may lead to an increased risk of respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma and death. Drugs which depress the CNS include, but are not limited to: tranquillisers, anaesthetics (e.g. barbiturates), hypnotics and sedatives (incl. benzodiazepines), antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiemetics, antihistaminic drugs and other opioids, phenothiazines and alcohol. ‘

Hydromorphone has an abuse profile similar to other strong opioid agonists. Hydromorphone may be
sought and abused by people with latent or manifest addiction disorders. There is potential for
development of psychological dependence
(addiction) to opioid analgesics, including hydromorphone.
Sectin 4.8 Undesirable effects - has been rewritten
Section 4.9 Overdose (changes in red)
Signs of hydromorphone toxicity and overdose include
miotic pupils, bradycardia, respiratory
depression, hypotension, somnolence progressing to stupor and coma. Circulatory failure and deepening
coma may occur in more severe cases and may lead to a fatal outcome.
In unconscious patients with respiratory arrest intubation and assisted respiration may be required.
Naloxone 0.8 mg should be administered intravenously. This should be repeated at 2-3 minute intervals
as necessary, or by an infusion of 2 mg in 500 ml of sodium chloride solution or 5% w/v glucose
solution (0.004 mg ml
-1). The infusion should be run at a rate relative to the previous bolus administered
and should be in accordance with the patient's response. The stomach should be emptied. Respiration
should be assisted if necessary. Fluid and electrolyte levels should be maintained.
Close monitoring (at least for 24 hours) is required, since the effect of the opioid antagonist is shorter
than that of hydromorphone, so that repeated occurrence of the signs of overdose like respiratory
insufficiency are to be expected.
Section 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties (changes in red)
Like morphine, hydromorphone is a μ1 selective full opioid agonist. The pharmaceutical actions of
hydromorphone and morphine do not differ significantly. Hydromorphone and related opioids produce
their major effects on the central nervous system and bowel.
The effects are primarily analgesic,
anxiolytic, antitussive and sedative. Moreover, mood swings, respiratory depression, reduced
gastrointestinal motility, nausea, vomiting and alteration of the endocrine and vegetative nervous
system may occur
