Experienced Palladone LawyersThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered the narcotic Palladone removed from the U.S. market on July 13, 2005, citing serious and potentially fatal overdose reactions when the prescription drug is taken with alcohol. Ironically, the drug was just approved by the FDA in September of 2004. If you or someone you love has been injured by Palladone use, you may be entitled to compensation. Click here for Urgent Palladone Updates. Palladone is a once-a-day version of the older painkiller hydromorphone. Unlike hydromorphone, which must be taken several times a day for effective pain relief, Palladone is designed so that the capsules will slowly dissolve over a 24-hour period. However, new studies indicate that the consumption of alcohol with Palladone can inhibit the capsule's slow-release function and cause the entire dose of Palladone to enter the blood stream at one time. Dose-dumping refers to the rapid release of the active ingredient from an extended release drug into the blood stream. The combination of alcohol and Palladone can cause dose-dumping to occur at even the lowest marketed dose. The results of dose-dumping may lead to serious, or even fatal, adverse events in some individuals. According the FDA's Acting Director for Drug Evaluation and Research, Even one drink could have fatal implications. Purdue Pharma also makes Oxycontin, another powerful narcotic. Like many other narcotics, Palladone's label contains the warning against alcohol consumption while taking the painkiller. However, the FDA ordered the suspension of sales and marketing of Palladone due to an unacceptably high level of patient risk. If you have a prescribed supply of the drug, the FDA urges that you stop taking it and consult your physician for an alternative medication. Should you continue to use up your supply of Palladone, DO NOT drink any alcohol or take other medicines that contain alcohol. Also, Palladone must be swallowed whole because chewing, dissolving, or crushing the capsule can lead to rapid release of a potentially fatal dose.
