What does acetaminophen do when mixed with oxycodone or hydrocodone?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Work together: Medications with acetominophen and an opiod, such as oxycodone or hyrocodone, work synergistically to provide pain relief.

Combination Rx: Acetaminophen is used to treat pain and so are narcotics such as oxycodone or hydrocodone. When combined together, they have synergistic effect.
