Question 1

does oxycodone a214 have codeine. in it?

Accepted Answer

Oxycodone doesn't: Oxycodone does not have codeine. The metabolites are different and activate different receptors in the body, however, the receptors are very close to the receptors activated by codeine, so they may give similar symptoms and side effects. But there isn't any Codeine in the pills.

Question 2

what's the difference between codeine and oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Narcotics: Codeine and oxycodone are both narcotic medications.  They are two different drugs in the narcotic family medication.

Question 3

can oxycodone and codeine pills be taken at the same time safely? is there interaction between these meds?

Accepted Answer

The : The main ingredient in both oxycodone and Codeine are pain killers in the opioid family.  Unless specifically instructed to do so by a doctor, taking both together can lead to an overdose since they are both in the same drug class.  If you are having pain and your medications don't seem to be helping, call your doctor to discuss dosages, alternatives, and a safe plan to treat your pain.  Good luck!

Question 4

i have found myself favoring codeine over other meds even severe pain instead of taking 5mg oxycodone i take 90-120mg of codeine. am i addicted

Accepted Answer

Can't answer: Addiction is the continued use of a mood altering substance or behavior despite adverse consequences.  You do not provide enough information for me to answer your question.
90mg of Codeine is about as potent as 9 mg of oxycodone.

Question 5

is the narcotic in oxycodone the same as codeine?

Accepted Answer

No!: Oxycodone is much stronger per mg of dose, and much more addictive.  I find little justification for it's use in my practice!

Question 6

is it dangerous to take acetaminophen with codeine and oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Depends : Mixing two different opioids (codeine and oxycodone) may not be a good idea as this can lead to cumulative effects. In addition to this, the total dose of Acetaminophen has to be considered. It would be best to disclose all the medications you are taking to your doctor and decide and would be most appropriate for you and just stay on it.

Question 7

i'm on oxycodone hcl 10 mg for post-surgery. i have severe bronchial cough & can't stop coughing. they gave me mucinex/codeine syrup. can i take both?

Accepted Answer

No: Although codeine is a weak narcotic, it is still not a good idea to take both narcotics at the same time. You can get plain Mucinex (guaifenesin) over the counter and use that instead of the Mucinex (guaifenesin) with codeine. If cough persists please see your doctor as sometimes an inhaler or an antibiotic might be needed.

Question 8

is it safe taking, oxycodone tramadol n codeine while on the fentanyl patch 25ug/h? i take myself off every fortnight to avoid addiction

Accepted Answer

No: You should not be on three medicines in the same category.

Question 9

if allergic to oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, & butrans & nucynta (tapentadol) do not work for pain, what alternatives are there? demerol? dillaudid?

Accepted Answer

May be : You are probably allergic to class of medications called narcotics and Demerol (meperidine hydrochloride) and Dilaudid are from the same family try non steroidal as Motrin advil or tram afoul ultramodern.

Question 10

trying to figure out my allergies. i get hives from vicodin, morphine, nsaids, codeine. does that mean also allergic to percocet? how about oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Likely: The reaction from codeine, Vicodin, Morphine etc are not truly allergic reaction but from these drugs' ability to release histamine from your cells. Thus you will not likely tolerate any drug in the opiate group. NSAIDs can also cause hives (which are considered allergic in some) but more likely aggravates an existing episode of hives regardless what may be causing it. Need more information.
