Hello I’m Prescribed A Weeks Worth Of Percocet For A
Question: Hello I’m prescribed a weeks worth of Percocet for a back injury, I also take .5mg ambien for sleep, I took half of a Percocet 5/325 4 hrs ago is it ok to take my ambien now?
Probably is fine right?
Brief Answer:
Percocet and Ambiem should be taken six hours apart.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Percocet and Ambiem can not be taken at the same time due to interactions.
Percocet is a pain killer which works for four to six hours in the system.
So, I suggest to take Ambiem six hours after Percocet.
You can take Ambiem right before sleep to improve your sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
