Is Oxycodone HCL The Right Medicine For Back Pain?
Hi, The Oxycodone is the right medicine for pain, but if the pain is not relieving you cannot repeat the dose within 1 hour. The next repeat dose can be taken only after 4 hours. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
