Question 1

what is the highest dosage of oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Dosing Opiates: The correct answer is the dose your physician recommends and to only use it sparingly.

If you are addicted or are using oxycodone outside of a therapeutic relationship with a physician please use the question on a medical board to begin to realize that this is no way to live.

Question 2

how to figure out the right oxycodone dosage by weight?

Accepted Answer

Not really: In general, in the adult, weight is not as important factor as prior opiate and drug use to determine the optimal dose of oxycodone or any other narcotic.

Question 3

can a dr or lab tell the difference between an oxycodone 15mg and oxycodone 30mg in a ua other then a higher dosage???

Accepted Answer

Interesting question: I've never thought about that question when dealing with drug screens because to my knowledge they are strictly QUALITATIVE and not QUANTITATIVE.  in other words, an employer only really cares if a substance is detectable or not. The police are more interested in HOW MUCH when it comes to Alcohol, weed, cocaine and so forth because the amount of jail time tends to go up with increasing quantities.

Question 4

what is a normal dosage of oxycodone (post-op) every 4 hours for a cervical laminectomy procedure? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Enough to control the pain. Everyone is different.

Question 5

never took oxycodone before. what dose would be good?

Accepted Answer

What doc prescribed: If this was prescribed, the dose the doctor wants you to take is on the prescription, and your pharmacist can further explain how to use it.  If it was not prescribed, then ZERO would be the right dose for you.  These are not questions anyone should be asking anyone other than the prescriber and their pharmacist. Strangers who do not know your health history are not the best source of information.

Question 6

what's a good starter dose for roxicodone (oxycodone)?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Under the care of a physician who is familiar with opioid medications and provides the appropriate education on their use this dose may be as low as 5mg.  Always start low and slowly increase as needed under the direction of your physician.  Medications should never be altered or changed without physician direction.

Question 7

pain mgt, dr. placed me oxycondone 5mg instead of perc.10/325. am i going to have more pain with this lower dose of oxycodone 5mg? i cannot do that.

Accepted Answer

No: You are not.  Give your doctor a chance to guide your care. Give the new medicine three days and see.  If it's better, great! if not, keep your doctor abreast. Keeping a positive attitude, and faith in their caring for your well-being will go a long way to getting better.  Dosage for different medicines is not as critical as trust, judgment, and experience.
