What is Stadol NS nasal?
Stadol NS is an opioid pain medication, sometimes called a narcotic.
Stadol NS is used to treat moderate to severe pain.
Stadol NS may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
MISUSE OF OPIOID MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
Using Stadol NS during pregnancy may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.
Fatal side effects can occur if you use this medicine with alcohol, or with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use Stadol NS if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
-
severe asthma or breathing problems; or
-
a stomach or bowel obstruction (including paralytic ileus).
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
-
breathing problems, sleep apnea;
-
liver or kidney disease;
-
a head injury, brain tumor, or seizures;
-
heart disease, high blood pressure, recent heart attack; or
-
alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness.
Be sure your doctor knows if you also take stimulant medicine, opioid medicine, herbal products, or medicine for depression, mental illness, Parkinson’s disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting. These medicines may interact with Stadol NS and cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.
If you use Stadol NS while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks.
If you breastfeed while using Stadol NS, seek medical attention at once if your baby is very drowsy or has breathing problems.
How should I use Stadol NS nasal?
Follow the directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides. Never use Stadol NS in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if you feel an increased urge to use more of Stadol NS.
Never share opioid medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it. Selling or giving away opioid medicine is against the law.
For best results, blow your nose before using the nasal spray.
Before using the spray for the first time, you must prime the spray pump. Remove the protective clip and pump 7 or 8 times into the air until a fine mist appears. Prime the spray pump any time you have not used your nasal spray for longer than 48 hours.
Do not stop using Stadol NS suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using this medicine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Do not keep leftover opioid medication. Just one dose can cause death in someone using this medicine accidentally or improperly. Ask your pharmacist where to locate a drug take-back disposal program. If there is no take-back program, flush the unused medicine down the toilet.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Stadol NS is used for pain, you are not likely to miss a dose. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115. A Stadol NS overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Overdose symptoms may include slow heart rate, severe drowsiness, muscle weakness, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, very slow breathing, or coma.
What should I avoid while using Stadol NS nasal?
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death could occur.
Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how Stadol NS will affect you. Dizziness or drowsiness can cause falls, accidents, or severe injuries.
Stadol NS nasal side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Opioid medicine can slow or stop your breathing, and death may occur. A person caring for you should seek emergency medical attention if you have slow breathing with long pauses, blue colored lips, or if you are hard to wake up.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
-
noisy breathing, sighing, shallow breathing, breathing that stops during sleep;
-
slow heart rate or weak pulse;
-
fast or pounding heartbeats;
-
problems with urination;
-
tremors, numbness or tingling;
-
confusion, feeling like you are floating;
-
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out; or
-
low cortisol levels–nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, worsening tiredness or weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if you have symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as: agitation, hallucinations, fever, sweating, shivering, fast heart rate, muscle stiffness, twitching, loss of coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Serious side effects may be more likely in older adults and those who are overweight, malnourished, or debilitated.
Long-term use of opioid medication may affect fertility (ability to have children) in men or women. It is not known whether opioid effects on fertility are permanent.
Common side effects include:
-
drowsiness, dizziness;
-
sleep problems (insomnia);
-
nausea, vomiting; or
-
stuffy nose.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect Stadol NS nasal?
You may have breathing problems or withdrawal symptoms if you start or stop taking certain other medicines. Tell your doctor if you also use an antibiotic, antifungal medication, heart or blood pressure medication, seizure medication, or medicine to treat HIV or hepatitis C.
Opioid medication can interact with many other drugs and cause dangerous side effects or death. Be sure your doctor knows if you also use:
-
other narcotic medications–opioid pain medicine or prescription cough medicine;
-
a sedative like Valium–diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, and others;
-
drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing–a sleeping pill, muscle relaxer, medicine to treat mood disorders or mental illness; or
