Brief Answer:
Drug interaction with oxycodone

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The drug has been stopped as there is a known drug interaction between oxycodone and XXXXXXX resulting in increased incidences of death. I am wondering how you have been on it for 15 years. You are better off without taking these medicines together

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
