Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking a pain med. for @ 7 years, first I took hydrocodone 10 mil. twice daily, Liver complications changed that to oxycodone 7.5 mil twice daily, abruptly I was cut off and told to see a pain management specialist, I did that and was told they would call me with my first appointment date. he also gave me a script for 40 oxycodone 5 mil.. My question is; is there any thing I can substitute as I am trying to stop with the Oxy.
If you want the same group of medicine then you can use Pramadol. It is the combination of Tramadol and Acetaminophen. However, I recommend you use Ketorolac tablets as it does not affect the liver.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
