Oxycod Acetam

I was on naproxen 500mg twice a day for back pains and now they put me on percocet and I don't feel better I am in more pain. Why? I am also now having problems with my presure it's gone up and we are having problems controling it could it be my new med. ## Hi Nancy, It does sound like issues you're experiencing may be due to the new medication you're on. How long have you been taking the Percocet? It may take some time for your body to adjust before you can feel any positive effects from it. Have you spoken with your doctor about all of this? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Percocet Details If you have any more questions, please post back and I'll be happy to assist you.

need the name of the manufacture of oxycodone /acetaminophn. It is very important that i get the name of the manufacture. ## I believe endocet is available. By Endo pharm. I think Watson still makes it as well, but harder to find.. Anyone know more specific? ## There are a number of manufacturers. More details would be needed to try and give you the name of only one. Put oxycodone /acetaminophn manufacturers in your search bar, that may be of some help.

Oxycodone/paracetamol, sold under the brand name Percocet among others, is a combination of the opioid oxycodone with paracetamol (acetaminophen), used to treat moderate to severe pain. In 2019, it was the 59th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 11million prescriptions.[2][3] Contents 1 History 2 Implicated in deaths 3 References 4 External links History The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first appr...

can oxycod/acetamino 10-325 cause death if used improperly. I started taking this for extreme pain to my lungs, and massive headaches caused by stage 5 COPD. ## Hello, Jeff! How are you? Any medication has the potential to cause a fatal overdose if used improperly. This contains a narcotic, so the risks for it are slightly higher than for something more innocuous like an antibiotic, but they all do carry some risk. Just be careful to only take it according to your doctor's instructions and don't mix it with alcohol. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Do you have any other questions or concerns?

Is this a generic for Percocet? ## yes...this site is kinda like the old DB... ## Hello, Tom! How are you? Yes, Oxycodone and Acetaminophen are the active ingredients in Percocet, so this is a generic for it. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Percocet details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Oxycodone Acetaminophen 7 5 325 I was prescribed this because of severe pain due to being kicked in the nuts by some jungle bunny. All it did is make me sick, dizzy and sort of out of it.

I just had surgery and was prescribed Percocet for pain. I stopped taking it yesterday but still feel out if it and dizzy today? How long will I feel the effects of this med? ## Those can be normal side effects and it may take a few days to wear off. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If your doctor okays it, you should be able to cut these in half and take a lower dose to alleviate your pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

oxycodone 10mg.-650 and 10mg.-325 which one is the stronger pill ?? ## Well, they both have 10mgs of the narcotic Oxycodone, but one of them has more Acetaminophen, 650mgs, so it would be the stronger tablet in respect to that ingredient. These are the active ingredients in Percocet. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions?

I am allergic to acetametephin and break out in watery sores that itch and burn. I was perscribed an oxycodone 5mg after dental surgury and after about 3 days I broke out in the sores again. Does Oxycodone 5mg have any additive that would act like acetametephin. I can take no pain meds with tylenol or ibuprophen so is there any opioid out there that I can take that wont break me out in these sores? ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? That is what would enable me to check the details for you. Can you please post back? Thank you! It sounds like you might be experiencing an allergic reaction, such as hives, according to NIH warnings. Where are they occurring? How soon do they occur after taking it?

can this medicine cause feet to be cold and burning feeling and your whole body is extremely sensitive to air around you ## The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. No, the symptoms you've mentioned aren't typical side effects of this medication. Are you taking anything else?

I survived a compression fracture @C5 and then two more medically necessary (surgically induced) fracture/repairs @C5. I walked away after all of that. In 1998 my spinal cord attached to C5 and the repair work has been scratching into the cord ever since. Prescribed Oxycodone Acetaminophen 5-325mg and carefully monitored ever since I am now at 6 pills a day and have held that level for the last 5 years or so. This month my prescription changed to OA 5-3. It is a smaller pill so I am guessing it is 300 mg rather than 325. Is my guess correct? I am in agony from the forced reduction. What else can I take -- in addition to the prescribed oxy -- to compensate for the reduction of the pain med. Something that won't kill me. I tried Tylenol as a substitute but had to give it up once I was...

Is oxycodone 10 mg hcl just as strong as the oxy 10 w/tylonal in them? Does one just have tylonal in it & that's it? ## Tylenol and Acetaminophen are the same thing. Tylenol is the brand name for Acetaminophen. ## @Archangel, A 10mg Oxycodone with the addition of Acetaminophen is most certainly going to be stronger than a 10mg Oxycodone tablet in and of itself. Acetaminophen is just there for those who may need a little more relief. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Acetaminophen + Oxycodone Details Are you not noticing much difference between the two, in so far as your pain levels are concerned?

Why has the price increased from approx 8.00 to 40.00 for generic oxycod/acetamino 10-325 in 2013 ## I guess there's no way to truly find out for certain what the underlying reason is, but perhaps it's due to multiple reasons. 1 being that the number of pain patients has significantly increased and still is increasing rapidly. With more demand, there also has to be a steady supply and therefore more value is being placed on the drug itself. I'm sure there are many other factors that are attributing to the high costs as well. This is just one that stands out to me, especially with all the hype going on in Florida where patients seem to be frantically searching for Oxycodone.

My doctor had me on hydrocodone 10/650 for about 5 years now for my fibromyalgia and its just not working for me any longer - he switched mea to oxycodone \ acetaminophen 10/650 - is this a stronger medicine and do you think that It would help me better as far as pain ?.... Thanks ## Hi, Crystal! How are you? Well, I can't say whether or not it will be effective at treating your pain, because everyone is different and the only way to know is by trying it and seeing how well it works for you… However, the Oxycodone is a stronger medication than the Hydrocodone. It takes less than 7mgs of it to equal each 10mgs of the Hydrocodone. Learn more Oxycodone/Acetaminophen details here. It is also a narcotic analgesic, so it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nau...

I have been taking qty of 120/mo,10-325 (percocet) for 2yrs with no side effects. My new MD reduced the qty to 90 and all was ok. He then reduced the qty to 60/mo 2 weeks ago and now my back pain has increased so much I can no longer continue my 1/2 mile daily walks. On his progressive timetable that qty is to be reduced to 45/mo which will be intolerable. I think I will be ok taking the same strength for 75/mo or would I be better off taking a qty of 60/mo 20-325 extended release? I am 84 yrs old and do not smoke or drink. ## Has he stated why he wants to lower it so much? May doctors are trying to be extra cautious about how much they prescribe of controlled substances, and why they prescribe them, since they do have to account for every prescription. If the government feels they are ...

Hi, would 325mg of acetaminophen be considered a significant blood thinner..the doctor has told my husband to stop all blood thinner meds, but he didn't mention this as one of his meds to stop taking. I know acetaminophen thins blood to a degree, not as much as aspirin...should he stop taking this?? ## Hello, Jotie! How is your husband? No, Acetaminophen isn't usually included, but it would be best to double check to be sure. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Would it be okay if I take another percocet 10? I took one around 11pm and it's now 2:40am. ## Hello, Briana! How are you? You should follow your doctor's dosing instructions. Generally, it's one or two tablets every 6 hours, as needed, for pain, unless your prescription states otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is taking one not helping your pain?

Please help me. I suffer pain all the time from my Fibromyalgia to my disc and back problems. The doctor had me on Percocet10/350 mg and switched me to Oxycodone HCL10 mg. little pink pills that don't work and Morphine Sulf ER 15 mg littleblue pills. I'm getting NO relief. What should I take? I'm at my wits end with pain. Almost no generic pills don't work. What can I do? Please help me!! Thank you ## If your doctor approves it, you may be able to take Acetaminophen/Tylenol with it to help get back some of the prior pain relief that you had, since it potentiates the action of the narcotics. Have you contacted them about the problem, yet? How long have you been taking the new medications? ## i am on lyrica 100mg and ocycodone 10/325 for my fibromyalgia been on it for awhi...

I have had several pain intensive surgeries followed by Dr. prescrptions of Vicodin & Percocet on various occasions in the past. Each time I would have surplus meds (with dispose of dates listed on container) leftover after pain subsided. My question is do these meds have a shelf life where they become ineffective or worse, toxic? ## No, these types of medications do not become toxic, but they will start to lose effectiveness past the expiration date. There's no precise time frame to give, because it depends on storage conditions, but the one year date from the pharmacy is the maximum time they can be sure they'll remain fully effective.
