Frequency Of Oxycodone

Is it normal for a Doctor to prescibe someone to take 1- 10/325mg oxycodone 4x a day? ## Well, they can be prescribed anywhere from 1 every 8 hours, to 1 every 6, or 1 every 4. So yes, it depends on the patient, their tolerance to narcotics, and how bad their pain is that needs controlling. ## Yes that can be normal. I take 2 10/325 percocets every 4 hours. So you take 1 every 6 hours which =4 per day: mine =12 per day ## Absolutely. Doctors will in cases of more severe pain, prescribe more ## Wish you luck! google team. ## isn't possible for a person to become addicted to saboxion? ## that is a normal dose, an depending on pain , it can be increased, if needed, more Dr.s are trying to get all patients on extended medication nowadays with instant releif for a break-thru ## Yes. i ha...

I need to find out what pill i got is. It is small round light people and has a A on top and the number 31 underneath it. ## Hello, Let! How are you? This tablet does not contain Oxycodone. It is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Oxybutynin, which is used to treat urinary frequency and incontinence. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, urinary retention and blurred vision. Is there anything else I can help with?

when taking a drug test for roxi if its not in your system and you need it to be can you put some of the medication in your urine to pass the test, even if they test your levels ## The levels would be off, since they are based on the prescribed dosage, dosing frequency, plus your weight, activity levels and etc. Additionally, the metabolites would not be in the urine, which is something they also look for, because they only appear when the medication has been metabolized through your body. So, it is likely that this wouldn't work. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Do you have a problem taking it as prescribed? ## I dont think the levels are tested, so would added it to urine before test ? would it be same ## Im prescribed 3 roxy a day and I was wondering since im taking them with m...

A doctor had me on 30 mgs of oxycodone two every three hrs.I have been on this med for more than 14 years and the reason he kept me on this like he did was thast i couldnt afford the long acting.First was it wrong for him to do and if so exactly why and second what are we going to do about the war on doctors and what can a person do to get the help they need.Im not a drug and i am on per disability for real health problems but its a forest trying to get help nopw days,any suggetions. ## It isn't wrong for a doctor to try to help with your pain to the best of his ability and in a manner that you agree with. Everyone's tolerance to medications can vary, so what's used, the dosage and frequency have to be individualized. As to the other issue, your best bet to get the help you ...

I have been in rehab for 18 months and am tested 3 times a week for oxycodone in my urine. I have never tested positive. However, about 6 weeks ago my test came back positive for oxycodone only no opidiads. I didn't take the oxy and want to know if the combination of my other medications could have cause the test result. I take aderol, adavan and flixoril. Occasionally I take excedrine for my headaches, but I don't take anything else. Oh yeah antacids. ## False positives for some narcotics can be caused by the Acetaminophen in the Excedrin, it is usually for Morphine, but has also been known to occasionally cause them for other narcotic drugs, as well. ## Denny, Based on your description, particularly the frequency of testing, this was probably an oxycodone immunoassay (IA). The...

Can they tell in a lab test how much you are taking? ## Yes, they can. In many cases, when someone is in pain management, the doctor uses a certain mathematical formula based on the prescribing frequency, the dosage, the person's age, weight, health and etc. to figure out an estimate range that their levels should fall in. Anything that goes much higher or lower than that range alerts them to a possible problem. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is the mathematical formula doctors use to determine the range your levels should be in? I'm looking at results of my urine drug screen and cannot understand if the test is ok or not. The hydromorphone level in my system is 334 ng/ml and I'm on 30 mg extended release every day.

Thirty mg morphine equals how many mg oxycodone? ## i have taken both within the last couple of months… i wouldn't say they are "equivalent" or use the word "equal" per se - but in my experience, they are interchangeable, & the doctor who prescribed both of them had prescribed 30mg of oxycodone and 30mg of morphine…. and i used them at the same dose and frequency…. imo, they are pretty similar… although the morphine is more sedating than the oxycodone….. ## Hi Jerry, According to an equianalgesic (opioid) chart from Stanford, Oxycodone is said to be about 1 1/2 times more potent than Morphine on a milligram to milligram basis. They conclude that 120 mg of oral Oxycodone is similar to taking 180 mg of oral Morphine. However, this is n...

Hi, I'm scripted 2 5/325 mg oxycodone 4 x daily, just had urine test with results of 128 ng/ml oxycodone. & 400 ng/ml oxymorphone. Dr. Is out of town so I am seeking info if these results r ok, to low/high. Any references available? ## Unfortunately no, such information isn't made public and there are many, many factors that go into figuring your appropriate level. It isn't just based on the prescribed amount and dosing frequency. Your overall health, metabolism, body weight, activity levels and many other things also go into figuring out what your levels should be. Learn more drug test details here. Are there any other questions? ## A friend of mine is taking percocet did not take any for about 10 days (she won' t tell me why she did this) she went to her dr. for pa...

I took one 5mg oxy saturday morning. Will I be clear for a urine test wednesday afternoon? ## I would think you should be fine since it is generally out of the average persons system in roughly 2-4 days (based on a number of sources I've read). However, the odds will be even greater in your favor if you exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, and maintain a healthy diet. The major route of oxycodone excretion is in the urine. The effects of oxycodone last up to 4 hours after use. The length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. I hope this information helps!...

I am currently taking oxycodone hcl ir 10mg 3 times a day as prescribed by my dr for 4 herniated disks with degeneration in my neck. I have very severe chronic pain in my neck, shoulder, and arm from this. The pills do help with the pain, but only last about 3 hours. which still leaves me in pain a lot of the day. Should I just inform my dr of this, or should I request a certain amount a day? I have been taking this amount for about 5 months now. I am not looking for a stronger pill, just more frequency of taking them. I do not have insurance, and can not afford extended release pills, as they are about 6-8 times the amount of money. I take my pills as prescribed, and do not abuse them. ## Hello, Bob! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. It would be best to inform yo...

I took a percocet 10-325 at 9 pm it's now 12:45 am and was wondering if I had to wait full 6 hours or can I take another ## Hello, Crystal! How are you? The Oxycodone in Percocet can be habit forming and, if you take it more frequently than as prescribed, you also run the risk of overdose, especially due to the Acetaminophen in it. Thus, it would be best to not change your dosing frequency, without your doctor's approval. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm having terrible pain with kidney stones.

Most opiate narcotics only stay in your system for up to 5 days, though it can vary depending on your health, activity levels, usage and frequency of use. However, if you have a prescription, you only need to inform them of this, when you go in for testing.

i receive oxycodone on a monthly basis for severe pain, i have not had one (10/325mg) in 3 weeks, if i take one tonite and one in the morning will my urine show up positive tomorrow morning when i see the doctor??? ## It probably will, but there could be another problem that you may run into. On most of these tests, the doctors aren't just checking for the presence of the drug in question, but they also check the levels of it. When you are prescribed a certain dosage, at a certain frequency, your levels should fall within a certain range and anything that falls outside of that range can alert them to a problem. Too high can mean that someone is abusing their medications and too low can mean that someone isn't taking them as prescribed and may be selling them. Are there any other...

I took about 105mg of oxycodone for 9 days after being taken off another opiate for a disease causing severe pain. How long will it take to completely leave my body so I will be clean and able to go back on my original meds? After reading here I'm very concerned and won't ever do that type of thing again. I would appreciate any info you are able to give me. Thanks. ## Aaron: What medication are you going back to? Strength and frequency? 9 days isn't exactly that long of time, but everyone reacts differently. Were you taking oxycodone due to a pain flare up, surgery etc?

I took on oxycodone on july 27 how long did it stay in my system? ## Hi Kathy, The major route of oxycodone excretion is in the urine. The effects of oxycodone last up to 4 hours after use. The length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. Based on the above info, you just need to know how much you took that day and when you took it; once you know that, you can simply divide the dose you took in half (by 2) for every 4 hours that passed after you ingested it. Does that make sense? It should give you a rough estimate of how much you had in your system at certain time...

I'm trying to understand how the mg to ng/nl equation works.for instance perscribed 5 30mg oxycodone daily.in a urine test what would number be.i know its metabolized different to oxymorphine but i cant find what the mg to nl/ml equation is.. ## To be honest, you are probably not going to find any specific numbers to answer your question. This is due to the fact there are many factors which come into play and affect the result which would show up. The factors can include someone's age, metabolism, overall health, weight, activity levels, other medications, the dosage prescribed, dosing frequency and etc. Therefore, what they usually look for in urine test results is to find it present in a certain concentration range and not to be at any given hard number. Based on the amount pr...
