Which one are you referring to? The Opana?
If so, this is a very potent narcotic pain medication, containing Oxymorphone and it can be dangerous to exceed the recommended dosage prescribed by your doctor, you run the risk of overdose and causing permanent organ damage.
If it is not controlling your pain, you should speak to your doctor about a dosage adjustment or possibly using a different medication.
