Can You Take Oxycodone 5 Mg With Tylenol

Updated

I had surgery about 3 days ago on my throat and the pain is very unbearable, and I was wondering if it is dangerous to take Tylenol with oxycodone? My prescription says 1-2 5mg tablets every 4 hours but the pain is still terrible, so would it be bad to take Tylenol with it?

Tylenol + oxycodone= "percocet", so no it is Not dangerous in the very least to take tylenol, it's fine. Can't really understand why ur Dr didn't give U percocet to begin with.

@Taffyrose,

As post #1 stated, Oxycodone and acetaminophen (tylenol) are a commonly prescribed combination med. The only thing I would encourage you to be aware of is the amount of tylenol you're taking within a 24hr period. Some over the counter doses of tylenol still contain up to 650 mgs of acetaminophen; vastly exceeding the new prescription threshold / safety limit (of 325 mgs) imposed by the FDA as of last year if I'm not mistaken, due to an increased risk of liver toxicity. Having said that, it seems to me like asking your doctor for percocet or opting for a low dose tylenol would probably be a safer option for long term liver health, depending on how much you intend on using and how long you intend on taking it for. Just wanted to add my perspective on the situation. I hope this helps!
