My doctor has just switched me from oxycodone HLC five MG tablets to Norco which also contains acetaminophen. I have been taking Tylenol with the oxycodone and I understand I should stop that medicine prior to taking the Norco. Is the Norco a milder medication and the oxycodone?

The TB12 just specifically designates the every 12 hour dosing. :-) The TB12 isn't commonly used, but I have seen it a few times before. Learn more Oxycontin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?
