Is Taking Oxycodone With Percocet Safe For Knee Pain?
Hi, I recently had a total knee replacement and my surgeon prescribed Oxycodone 5mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 8 pills a day. This is not adequately relieving my pain. I am still experiencing a pain of 7. I have Percocet 5mg/325mg that was prescribed by my primary doctor before the surgery to help with my knee pain. Is it ok to take 1 Percocet with the 2 Oxycodone so the dose would be increased to 15 mg?

Hi
It should be fine to take the Percocet with the two oxycodone tablets every six hours as needed for the pain
