Question: Is four 5mg Oxycodone APAP alot for pain management!?
My Dr prescribed two 5MG oxycodone apap every 4 to 6 hours but I sometimes take 4 each time to deal with the pain!. Is this a dangerous amount for a relatively healthy 190lb male!?!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The maximum dosage for oxycodone is 2 tablets (10mg) every 6 hours!. The amount of acetaminophen in the 4 tabs of oxycodone you're taking exceeds the maximum dosage as well!. This could be damaging to your liver!. If what the doctor prescribed is not helping, see him again!. He'll prescribe something that may work better to alleviate your pain!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

5mg is a fairly low dose but when you run out early and come back begging for more your doctor and/or pharmacist is gonna be pissed!. also, it is very addictive so you really shouldnt take more than you are prescribed!. if you feel it isnt enough let your doctor know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just be careful!.!.!.oxy is easy to get addicted to!Www@Answer-Health@Com
