Brief Answer:
yes its safe to take your pain medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

I think you can take your pain medicine oxycodone without any worries.

There would not be any ill-effects or drug interactions between lorazepam 0.25mg, half mg chlorpheniramine and 45mg oxycodone. There may be slight sedation but nothing serious to worry about.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.

Thanks.

Dr. Shubham Mehta, MD.
