A member asked:
In hospital they are giving me oxycontin on top of the fentanyl patch is this safe? 20mg oxy twice 25 fentanyl
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxy and fentanyl: So if I understand this they gave you two long acting medications at the same time. If this is true this is a dangerous practice and not safe at all.
