Is it bad to take Dimetapp while on oxycodone?!


Question: Is it bad to take Dimetapp while on oxycodone!?
I was given oxycodone about 3 hours ago for post-operative pain and I've also got a bad cough!. Would it be a terribly bad idea to take Dimetapp now!? I'm also going to be taking Tramadol later tonight, will it react badly with that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
do NOT take tramadol with any other opiate or opioid!. tramadol itself is a heavy duty opioid, and oxycodone is an opiate!. both will depress the cardiac system, and tramadol alone is enough to slow breathing to the point you shouldnt take any other downers!. I code blue'd in the hospital on a dose of morphine they gave me that wad too heavy!. add on tramadol and i probably would have been dead!. as far as oxycodone and dimetapp, if you follow dosing guidelines it should be ok!. the thing about opiates like oxycodone is that people in a lot of pain can take doses that would kill a healthy person!. if the doctor prescribed you the tramadol and knew you were on oxycodone i suppose it would be ok, if following dosing instructions, but with my personal experience with opiates and opioids, in the hospital and out, legitimate or not, i personally would not take tramadol with oxycodone!. opioids and opiates often clash in the body, so just exercise caution!. all i can do is attempt to instill knowledge that will help you better judge whether or not to do it!. and good luck whatever your choice =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

plese whatever you do don't take those together! the best thing for you to do is make some hot tea with honey in it!. that will help with the cough!Www@Answer-Health@Com
