What Are The Side Effects Of Oxycoset?

My wife has been taking 3-4/325 oxycosets a day for about a year. She is trying to ewan off them, and is having trouble with side effects. When she wakes in the morning, and sits up, the room spins for a while. She is sick in her stomach, can t get to sleep, and generally feels poorly. Can you recommend a way to ease the process?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Oxycocet is a Canadian brand name for the combination of 'oxycodone with acetaminophen'.
Oxycodone belongs to the group of medications called 'narcotic analgesics'.
Acetaminophen belongs to the group of medications called analgesics and antipyretics.
This combination is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
Constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, itching, lightheadedness, mood changes, nausea and vomiting are some of the side effects which could be encountered with the use of this medication.
Kindly seek medical attention promptly if such symptoms become bothersome.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
