A member asked:
Is it ok to take 5 mg oxycodone right after taking 10 mg oxycontin for breakthrough pains for cancer patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: First, Oxycontin is a time released drug that should not be used for breakthrough pain, but only as a standing dose for long-term and chronic pain. If an individual is on Oxycontin two or three times a day for the chronic pain, a physician can appropriately order an immediate release drug, like oxycodone ir, for breaktthrough pain.
