Are you able to safely take opana er and oxycodone ir for breakthrough pain safely together?

Specializes in Pediatrics

No: They are both opioids with risk for respiratory depression and overdose. I don't understand why you have two different prescriptions for breakthrough pain. This is dangerous.
