• you are allergic to any ingredient in Panlor SS or any other codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, oxycodone)
• you have severe diarrhea due to taking an antibiotic, severe bowel problems (eg, paralytic ileus), severe asthma, or if you are having an asthma attack
• you are taking naltrexone, quinidine, or sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

• Quinidine because the effectiveness of Panlor SS may be decreased
• Cimetidine, ethanol, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), isoniazid, medicine for mental or mood disorders (eg, olanzapine, haloperidol), medicine for anxiety (eg, diazepam), other narcotic pain medicine (eg, oxycodone), monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), or sodium oxybate (GHB) because side effects such as excessive drowsiness, disorientation, trouble breathing, or seizures may occur
• Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because side effects such as bleeding may be increased by Panlor SS

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Panlor SS may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
