INDICATIONS

TALWIN® Nx is intended for oral use only. Severe, potentially lethal, reactions may result from misuse of TALWIN Nx by injection either alone or in combination with other substances. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS: DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE subsection.)


TALWIN Nx is indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain.

TALWIN Nx is indicated for oral use only.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Adults: The usual initial adult dose is 1 tablet every three or four hours. This may be increased to 2 tablets when needed. Total daily dosage should not exceed 12 tablets.

When anti-inflammatory or antipyretic effects are desired in addition to analgesia, aspirin can be administered concomitantly with this product.

Children Under 12 Years of Age: Since clinical experience in children under 12 years of age is limited, administration of this product in this age group is not recommended.

Duration of Therapy: Patients with chronic pain who receive TALWIN Nx orally for prolonged periods have only rarely been reported to experience withdrawal symptoms when administration was abruptly discontinued (see WARNINGS). Tolerance to the analgesic effect of pentazocine has also been reported only rarely. However, there is no long-term experience with the oral administration of TALWIN Nx.
