The data further demonstrate that Q8003IR was generally well tolerated, with a low rate of patient withdrawal (2% to 12% depending on dose vs. 2% for placebo). In addition, there was minimal somnolence (2% to 8%) and changes to respiratory parameters (respiration rate, oxygen saturation) with no incidences of euphoria reported. Nausea and vomiting (usually mild) were the most common adverse events. Further analysis of side effect profiles is underway and these data will be available by late May 2008.

Q8003IR is a patent-protected combination of morphine and oxycodone which has been clinically shown to provide synergistic effects on pain relief with a significant reduction of total opioid dose and side effects.
