A member asked:

Is it ok to take roxicet with a sore throat / strep throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes you can take roxicet for a sore throat but it is quite strong and really probably overkill. Tylenol (acetaminophen) and advil or Aleve or usually sufficient and safer in any ways because they do to sedate like roxicet
