OxyContin 80mg

How to take OxyContin 80mg

You should go through the Medication Guide before commencing the extended-release oxycodone and each time it is renewed. If in doubt, do not hesitate to seek help from your doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop using this medication; stop it only when the doctor says that you should stop.

Use it every 12 hours regardless of whether there is anything wrong with you, and you can do so on an empty stomach too. If you are feeling nauseated, consider taking it together with something to eat or else lie down without much motion for one or two hours.

Do not break apart or chew these pills; they should be ingested whole since doing either may result in overdose. Only consume one pill at a time so that all water can be drunk when taking it. Not unless okayed by the doctor should grapefruit or its juice be consumed as it heightens chances of negative effects. Just use them in accordance with instructions provided; take exactly what you have been told by either the pharmacist or physician; never go beyond terms set by a professional in charge of prescribing drugs and diagnoses diseases; once it is time for patients to start using medications given to them according to the schedule made up at home themselves (self-medication). The patient’s dose depends on how serious his/her sickness actually is and whether there are any changes in his/her situation or not.

Stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal, so your doctor may taper your dose gradually. Report any withdrawal symptoms immediately.

Notify your doctor if pain does not improve, worsens, or if you experience new pain. Long-term use may decrease effectiveness.

This medication has a risk of addiction, higher if you have a substance use disorder. Take exactly as prescribed to minimize risk.
