Oxycodone Depot Sandoz can interact with other medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Benzodiazepines: combined use may cause profound respiratory depression. - Central nervous system depressants (e.g., barbiturates, alcohol): increase sedation and risk of overdose. - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): may precipitate severe hypertension.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin): raise oxycodone plasma levels. - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine): lower oxycodone exposure. - Anticholinergic agents: may exacerbate constipation.
