Can Hydrocodone Be Taken Along With Oxycodone?
Question: My wife was first prescribed Oxycodene-Acetaminophen Two days ago but then went to another doctor for oral surgery and he prescribed Hydrocodon-Acetaminoph. She last took the Oxycodene can her next use in about 4 hrs switch over to the Hydrocodon?
Brief Answer:
oxycodone stronger than hydrocodone, 12 hours after oxycodone
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the oxycodone is considered over hydrocodone, oxycodone is stronger or more effective at low doses (for example 5mg of oxycodone is equal to 10 mg of hydrocodone).
Oxycodone works for 12hours, so you can take the hydrocodone after 12 hours. I prefer to continue the oxycodone - acetaminophen combination rather than hydrocodone - acetaminophen, since you have already started with oxycodone-acetaminophen combination.
I hope i have answered your query. If any queries are there, reply me back. Take care.
