A member asked:
Will demerol (meperidine hydrochloride) offer good pain relief after orthopedic procedures (plates and screws in tibia)? does 50 or 100mg compare to 5-10mg percocet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can : Response to opiates is highly variable among patients. Oral Demerol (meperidine hydrochloride) is often less effective than intravenous Demerol (meperidine hydrochloride). I personally prefer oxycodone/Percocet over Demerol (meperidine hydrochloride) for moderate to severe pain once a patient is on oral meds.
