Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed this information but am not very clear on which of the pills is of most help to you. I will suggest that you kindly state that clearly so that I can look into its action and possible side effects to see if it has any impact on the kidneys or not.

Oxycodone clearly has no consequences on the kidneys. Paracetamol might if used for a very long time at heavy doses.

Let me hear from you before providing conclusive insights and helpful recommendations.

Kind regards and awaiting.
