Brief Answer:
You can take it now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

These drugs can be taken safely together without any major drug interaction. I will like that you feel free to take it at anytime. However, taking the drugs together may lead to increased side effects of oxycodone such as body weakness, drowsiness and difficulties concentrating. Beyond these, there are no more fears and you should feel free taking the drug whenever you please. All to do is to maintain the dosage and the frequency of administration.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
