Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had knee replacement surgery 2 weeks age. I was asked to take Oxycodone IR 5mg every 6 hours. which I did. I ran out of it & my GP gave OxyContin 10mg to be taken once daily. I am in pain, do I take the 2nd one only once, ? Are they bouh the same? Thank you. Rose Thakur
hi this should be reported to your doctor, usually 10mg can be taken twice a day, but in my opinion, tramadol is a good alternative and non addictive too thanks
