The FDA has approved Roxybond (Daiichi Sankyo), an
short-acting (SA) oxycodone formulation with
abuse-deterrent properties, for treatment of pain
requiring management with an opioid. Roxybond
is the first SA opioid to be approved as an abuse-deterrent
product. Oxaydo, another IR oxycodone
formulation, has properties that discourage its
intranasal and intravenous use, but is not considered
an abuse-deterrent product by the FDA. Use of
opioids for treatment of pain was reviewed in a
recent issue.

Development of abuse-deterrent opioid products,
including reformulation of existing products, has
become a priority for drug manufacturers and
public health advocates. Since our last article on
this subject, several new abuse-deterrent opioid
formulations have been approved by the FDA,
including an oxycodone tablet formulation (Roxybond
– Inspirion) that is the first immediate-release opioid
product FDA-approved to include claims of abuse
deterrence in its labeling. No opioid formulation
prevents consumption of a large number of intact
dosage units, the most common method of abuse.
Abuse-deterrent formulations have one or more
properties that make their intentional nontherapeutic
use more difficult, less attractive, or less rewarding.
