Risk / Harmful Effects.

All I've read when looking up this drug is about it's potential harmful effects for chronic pain sufferers who've developed a high tolerance to oxycodone yet not to naloxone, yet this article seems extremely sanitized. Is there a reason for this? I'm trying to learn more about it and came here third or fourth--normally I use wiki first but I'm glad I didn't in this case--and was shocked to find it so sparse.

I'm afraid the reason is simply that no one has had time to develop this article. I've at least added a link to the UK package insert now, but it only says the drug's tolerance risk is unknown. Have you got any reliable sources backing up your information? Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 16:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
