RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For moderate or severe impairment or ESRD, begin at one-half the recommended starting dose and titrate cautiously while watching for respiratory depression. Mild renal impairment does not require a starting-dose adjustment. If the needed dose is below the available 15 mg strength, consider an alternative analgesic rather than altering an extended-release tablet. These are starting-dose and monitoring instructions, not permission to halve every established regimen without clinical review.
