Can Oxycodone Be Taken Two Hours After Taking Methocarbomol For Persistent Severe Shoulder Pain?
Question: My 79 year old husband took methacarbam for severe shoulder pain about 2 hours ago. It did not help. Can he take an oxycodone now?
Brief Answer:
Oral oxycodone can be taken after oral methocarbamol with 2 hours interval
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication. It is usually indicated in moderate to severe pain. Methocarbamol blocks pain sensation sent to the brain.
Oral oxycodone can be taken after oral methocarbamol with 2 hours interval. But be cautious that both of the medications has CNS depressant effect which may affect patient’s ability to perform skilled tasks (e.g. driving).
Hope, this information is helpful for you. Please, feel free to ask me if there is anything else you need to know.
Thank you
