Question : Currently taking NSAIDs for rheumatoid arthritis. Is there any problem taking a total of 1 to 3 percocets in addition for acute pain? Not all 3 at same time. Thank you

Brief Answer: Yes. You can take percocet. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. You can use additional percocet for controlling the acute pain. Just take care not to take all the three at the same time. Do take these after meals and get your kidney functions checked every 6 months as you are taking pain killers chronically. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
