Important Safety Information
DepoDur is not intended for intrathecal, intravenous, or intramuscular administration. Administration of DepoDur into the thoracic epidural space or higher has not been evaluated and therefore is not recommended. The majority of adverse events were typical opioid-related side effects and would be expected in the surgical populations studied. No statistically significant differences between treatment groups with respect to nausea, pruritus, sedation scores, vomiting episodes, or urinary retention.
