What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE Adults TEVA-OXYCOCET (oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen) is indicated for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain, including conditions accompanied by fever. TEVA-OXYCOCET is not indicated as an as-needed (prn) analgesic. Geriatrics (> 65 years of age) In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, concomitant disease or other drug therapy (see ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Special Populations and Conditions, Geriatrics). Pediatrics (< 18 years of age) The safety and efficacy of TEVA-OXYCOCET has not been studied in the pediatric population. Therefore the use of TEVA-OXYCOCET is not recommended in patients under 18 years of age. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00047061.PDF PM date: August 22, 2018 Source product: TEVA-OXYCOCET; DIN 00608165; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Health Canada: dormant products
Health Canada defines dormant products as: “products that were previously marketed in Canada but for which the manufacturer has suspended sale for period of at least 12 months.” (canada.ca, Sep 10, 2026 ↗)

Other review policies

For Percocet: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

Ontario source; updated September 15, 2026

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
