Taking Oxycodone After Dental Surgery. Painful. Can I Take Baclofen?
I am on oxicodon because I had dental surgery last Thursday. I am about to run out it and I am in a lot of pain. (I was removed tooth implant). I wanted to know if given that it is a weekend and I cannot take a prescription of oxicodon, unless I go to an emergency room, I could have IC Baclofen 10 MG instead, since I have it at home for muscle pain.

Hi
Baclofen is usually prescribed as a muscle relaxant. I will instead suggest Naproxen. Though you may try Baclofen too. It is usually prescribed at a starting dose of 5 mg and then increased to 10 mg.
