Oxycodone Acetaminophen 5 325

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 ...

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. Learn more Vicodin details here. Learn more Percocet details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for the expiration inf...

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...

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 have been on Oxycodone 10/325 for over three years, taking 6 per day. My doctor wants to change what would be comparable since my body is dependent on that dose. ## Hello, Spider! How are you? There are several others that would be comparable, but without knowing more specifics, I can't provide you with any details. Why does your doctor want you to change your medication? Is it due to the Acetaminophen? If I have this information, I can provide you with more accurate info. Thanks! ## What is a good substitute for percocet 10/325 that doesnt not have Tylenol in it?

how much is this per pill how long will it take to get the order ## Hello, Richard! How are you? I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications or products, it is an information only resource. 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. Since this is a controlled substance, it requires regular monitoring from a physician. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have oxycodone acetaminophen 5 325 from Nov.2012. Is it still usably effective? ## Hello, Dorcas! How are you? If it's in a bottle as dispensed by your pharmacy, then it expired and began to degrade one year after it was dispensed to you, due to the fact that those bottles expose them to heat, light and moisture. Thus, it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor, if you require something for pain. The FDA lists 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 there anything else I can help with? ## The one year expiration date on pharmacy issued drugs is required by law and has nothing to do with the actual shelf life of a drug. A 3.9 mill...

Can the 2 medicines be taken together? Meloxicam and oxycod/apap ## Hello, Deb! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, so it should be fine, if your doctor approves, but it's always best to double check. The FDA classifies Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 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. Meloxicam is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, favor and swelling.Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain! It really depends on which one works best for you. The tablet with the K 18 marking only contains 5mgs of Oxycodone, while the other couples it with Acetaminophen, which can sometimes augment the action of the opiate in some people.

I usually always took a different brand of percocet 5/325. My new dr called my script into Walgreens (usually i went thru hy-vee). I have been taking the Actavis brand since 4/18/16. I went yesterday to my dr. She evaluated my urine to check the opioid level. I got a call this morning from her- there is NO OPIOID in my system at all! I have been taking percocet for years due to a bad auto accident years ago. I took the pills to Walgreens, she would call dr and call me. She did-tried to tell me i hadn't been taking them! Basically called me a liar! Does anyone know where/how i could get these pills analyzed? Please let me know- {edited for privacy}. Thank-you

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 had a total knee replacement done last Monday. When released on Thursday, I was prescribed with Oxycodone Acetaminophen 5 325 as a pain killer in time of need. I needed a little yesterday--I really haven't had that much pain before, even in the hospital, but I guess I pushed myself a little too much, so I took one of my capsules. I awoke in the night because the pain I was feeling was 10 times worse than anything I'd been through since surgery. I took another and the pain increased. What would cause this? I have used only three of the fifty prescribed, so I don't think I could be already addicted. I'm a 59 yar old female, with a moderate HBP and diabetes, both more or less controlled. My health is otherwise good. ## Addiction wouldn't cause worsening of the pain, t...

Can oxycodone/acetaminophen with a C imprint on one side and the number 230 on the other be cut in half or quarters? It is a tablet but no score line. ## Hello, Maci! How are you?

Does this affect your breathing and what is the 5 mixture? ## Hello, K! How are you? This is 5mgs of Oxycodone coupled with 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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. And yes, it may affect your breathing, because it can cause depression of the CNS. Thus, it might be contraindicated with some medical conditions, some other medications and could be dangerous if you are not tolerant to it. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## I am looking for the non-medicinal ingredients in apo-02324628 (oxycodone/apap 5-325).

Want to stop taking this med: oxycodone/acetaminophen 2.5-325 for two years. ## Hello, Bud! How are you? How many have you been taking each day? A slow taper is usually best, your doctor can help you set up a tapering schedule. However, you may still experience some withdrawal symptoms, which may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, fever, chills and rebound pain as listed by the FDA. ## My sister has been on Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 2.5 mg once a day for about three years. How long would her withdrawal last? ## On 2.5mg for years, no withdrawals for me after stopping without tapering.
