Is It Safe To Take 20mg Of Percocet And 4mg Hydromorphone Together every 4 hrs?

REPORT

I'm sorry, but there is actually no 20mg Percocet tablet. Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone and is only available with a maximum of 10mgs of the Oxycodone.

Did you mean just a regular Oxycodone tablet, like the generic for Roxicodone, which is available in a 20mg dosage?

Have these both been prescribed by the same doctor?

Many times, different narcotics are prescribed together, to try to help someone get better control of pain. A lot of times a person may given a regular release of time released narcotic, along with an instant release or regular release, respectively, so one can help control their pain faster, while the other one has the chance to kick in.

When using 2 narcotics together, you should know to watch for the signs of central nervous system depression, since they can both cause it and doubling up may increase its likelihood.

If you start experiencing these symptoms, which may include lowered blood pressure, extreme drowsiness, sedation and lowered pulse rate, then contact a doctor immediately.
