Hey Dave,

Concerning your question about oxycodone's therapeutic range, I imagine this would vary somewhat for each individual depending on tolerance and other individual factors. However, from my own research I would probably base my answer off of oxycodone's 3.2 hour half life for the immediate-release formulation. After that time frame following administration, the medication would no longer be at its peak so to speak (was not trying to rhyme there lol). Perhaps this is why they often recommend taking 1 tablet every 4-6 hours, since this is when more than half of the dose would've already passed through your body.

I hope this helps!

Then why is my Dr.pres.me 1 tab every 6-8 hrs? According to your recommendation that's a very low dose he's prescribing, is this common? Please respond!
