What
is the most important information I should know about aspirin
and oxycodone?
• Do not stop taking aspirin and oxycodone suddenly
if you have been taking it continuously for more than 5
to 7 days. Stopping suddenly could cause withdrawal symptoms
and make you very uncomfortable. Your doctor may want to
gradually reduce your dose.
• Avoid alcohol while taking aspirin and oxycodone.
Alcohol may increase the drowsiness and dizziness caused
by aspirin and oxycodone and could be dangerous. Also, alcohol
increases the risk of stomach bleeding when you are taking
a medication that contains aspirin.
• Also avoid sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives,
and antihistamines except under the supervision of your
doctor. These medicines also may cause dangerous sedation.
• Oxycodone may also cause constipation. Drink plenty
of water (six to eight full glasses a day) to lessen this
side effect. Increasing the amount of fiber in your diet
can also help to alleviate constipation.
• Never take more aspirin and oxycodone than is prescribed
for you. If your pain is not being adequately treated, talk
to your doctor.
• Avoid other over-the-counter and prescription products
that contain aspirin. Too much aspirin could be dangerous.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter
preparations.
What
is aspirin and oxycodone?
• Oxycodone (related to codeine) is in a class of
drugs called narcotic analgesics. It relieves pain.
• Aspirin is a less potent pain reliever, as well
as an anti-inflammatory and a fever reducer. Aspirin increases
the effects of oxycodone.
• The combination, aspirin and oxycodone, is used
to treat moderate-to-severe pain.
• Aspirin and oxycodone may also be used for purposes
other than those listed in this medication guide.
