Can you combine Meloxicam with Oxycodone? I am 82 and take 7.5mg Meloxicam for arthritis; recently hurt my back and they prescribed 5mg Oxycodone+500mg Tylenol one every 6 hours for pain. I seem to have a more difficult time urinating now than before, is the combination the problm?? I m done.

Hello,
There is no documented harmful interaction between Meloxicam and Oxycodone hence they can be taken together. However, Oxycodone seems to be responsible for your difficulty in passing urine.
You should consult your doctor for an alternate effective medication for your back ache or to adjust the dose of the prescribed medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
