Diane S. Aschenbrenner

• * Targiniq ER is a new combination opioid analgesic for treating severe chronic pain. The drug combines the narcotic oxycodone with naloxone, an opioid receptor blocker. The goal of this combination is to reduce the risk of drug abuse by blocking the euphoric effects of oxycodone.

  * Targiniq ER carries the same risks as all other opioid analgesics. Overdosage of Targiniq ER can be fatal.
