Talwin Nx And Norco Together Safe?

Updated

I took a Talwin NX about 2 to 3 hours ago. Its not working, so I was going to take a Norco. How long should I wait to take it?

Is the prescription drug Talacen still being manufactured?

@Shasta (original poster),

According to the fda, the average half life of Pentazocine is 3.6 hours and about 1 hour for Nalaxone (the two active ingredients in Talwin Nx). I don't know if the dosing effects of this drug are cumulative, but based on the half life alone it seems to me that you wouldn't have to wait more than a few days depending on how much you took and how frequently you've taken it.

Drug interaction checkers from the University of Maryland don't recommend using Talwin Nx with Norco unless your doctor is able to change the dose and/or how often you use either medication. However if have already started using Norco, they also encourage you to contact your doctor in the event that you experience any of the following side effects upon doing so: restlessness, anxiety, cramps, fever, allergy-like symptoms, etc.

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

@Diana (post #1),

Sanofi (formerly known as Sanofi Aventis) is the last known manufacturer I could find of Talacen. You may want to try giving them a call at 800-981-2491 for more specific details on Talacen's current availability.

Hope this helps!

David :

Thank you for your helpfulness. I only take two Talwin NX a day. I have NEVER taken Norco. I heard drug manufacturer was going to quit making the Talwin NX from my pharmacist. I have a really low tolerance to pain medication. My doctor put me on Norco and I had ALL horrible side effects. He had me bring the Norco back to him and after many phone calls found some Talwin NX in a smaller town than I live in.

Thank you much.
