- Background and Objectives Oxycodone is frequently prescribed as well as detected in postmortem cases. Concurrent use of pharmacodynamically or pharmacokinetically interacting drugs can cause adverse effects or even fatal intoxication. The aims of this study were to investigate differences in prescriptions for and toxicological findings of pharmacodynamically and pharmacokinetically interacting drugs in fatal oxycodone-related intoxications and other causes of death. We also aimed to investigate the differences in prevalence of oxycodone prescriptions, and the detected postmortem oxycodone concentrations between fatal oxycodone-related intoxications and other causes of death. Methods Forensic autopsy cases (2012-2018) where oxycodone was identified in femoral blood (n = 1236) were included. Medical history and prescription data were retrieved from national databases and linked to the forensic toxicology findings. Results Oxycodone-related deaths were found to have higher blood concentrations of oxycodone (median 0.30 mu g/g vs. 0.05 mu g/g) and were less likely to have a prescription for oxycodone (OR 0.62) compared to nonintoxication deaths. Pharmacodynamically interacting drugs were prescribed in 79% and found in blood in 81% of the cases. Pharmacokinetically interacting drugs were rarely prescribed (1%). Oxycodone-related deaths were more likely to have prescriptions for a pharmacodynamically interacting drug (OR 1.7) and more often have co-findings of one or multiple pharmacodynamically interacting drugs (OR 5.6). Conclusion The results suggest that combined use of oxycodone and pharmacodynamically interacting drugs is associated with oxycodone-related death and that non-medical use of oxycodone is a potential risk factor for oxycodone-related intoxication.
