oxycodone and liver

I think the slippery elm will help because when my dog was alive she had liver disease and nausea and I would give her the slippery elm 3 x a day with warm chicken broth and it made a difference. Anyway the oxy, I'm on 10 mg, definitely makes a difference but most drs won't prescribe it for gastritis.

Ok, just got back from PM and he perscribed me Oxycodone HCL 15MG and wants me to try those and see him in 2 weeks. I will let you all know how they work and thanks again everyone.

Too much tylenol can cause liver damage and even liver failure. Initially, the maximum safe dose put out by the pharmaceutical company was 4,000 mg per day; however, there is a new lower maximum recently released that states 2,600 mg per day is the maximum. The maximum single dose of tylenol that can be taken safely is 1,000 mg. The oxycodone-acetaminophen that you are taking contains in each pill 5 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen (aka tylenol).

Not sure. Maybe you should see a doctor at this time.

Medication that metabolizes in the liver can cause the liver to be irritated and enzymes to elevated. Also causing the liver to be swollen, surely not good if your liver is going through so much already. Again, speak with your doctor right away for medication that can be safely used. I also reccomend you drink plenty of water to push the medicine through your body and if you need more medicine tonight then get to a doctor today!

Yes the oxys r both the same thing so don't get why he's on two kinds and doses and yes they can affect his kidneys and liver over time. But long use like alcohol.

t have any problems. And have been on pain management and on Oxycodone since 2011 and never had any problems on them. They have to be made with different components?

My husband is one as well, he is on pain management and his liver is fine I am sure other people will come along and help out, there are many nice people here on this site

I had back surgery a few years ago and the dr prescribed oxycodone for pain since I had liver disease rather then oxycontin which I believe had tylenol. As Trinity said this stuff is seriously addictive and tolerance increases very rapidly. I threw hundreds of them out after a month of taking them when the acute pain subsided reasonably well.

is there any dangers going through opiate {oxycodone} withdrawal and hepatitis C

Phillnoir - cool moniker, equally cool post. Remember, this forum is just as much for we poor souls who read the posts, as well as those who initiate them. clsmith843? Acetaminophen - AKA "Tylanal" (intentionally misspelled) - is toxic to one's liver and organs. Absolutely and unequivocally, it'll kill ya. The maximum recommended dosage is not to exceed 500mg/daily. That's not even a full, regular dose as per label instructions, it's 1 tablet.

One thing I have not see anyone say about the differences in hydrocodone and oxycodone is that hydrocodone is schedule III while oxycodone is a scheduled II......

Oycodone is in a different class of drugs than Vicodin. Vicodin is a Schedule III drug and Oxycodone is a Schedule II drug. It is stronger than Vicodin and probably the reason your doctor prescribed it rather than the hydrocodone (vicodin) is because oxycodone is available in a pure form without acetominophen in it. Hydrocodone is not.

The percentage of patients who actually have liver issues with taking the oxycodone in high dosages is actually quite minimal so I wouldn't be too concerned, just insist on those blood tests every 90 days to ease your concerns.

5/325 is 7.5mg of Oxycodone and 325mg of Tylenol. The Tylenol is used for inflammation, fever, and general aches/pains. So you have been given double the Oxycodone amount and have rid yourself of the Tylenol -- the Roxi will be MUCH more effective for the simple fact that you're getting a considerable amount more. Unfortunately for you, the tolerance will now build up and in a few months time, taking a lower dosage (than 15) will have little to no effect on you.

Why would a physician give Lorazapam and Oxycodone to a patient who has severe liver damage and also has a history as a youth to drug addiction, and recent serious alcohol addiction that caused the liver damage in the first place??

This will help dilute the concentration, decreasing some of the suspected liver/kidney toxicity and allow your kidneys and liver easier filtration and easier metabolism.

Lastly, Fentanyl is one of the the better medications for those with renal (kidney) or heptic (liver) impairement. Dilaudid is as well. Oxycodone (with and without tylenol) and Hydrocodone are both not recommended due to the additional metabolism by the liver into oxymorphone and hydromorphone, respectively. There is still some work on the liver regardless to process opioids but Fentanyl, Dilaudid (hydromorphone), and Opana (oxymorphone) put less strain on the liver.

t know how many you are taking a day, how long you will be on them or your age, but the concern with the 10/325 is the acetaminophen (Tylenol) it contains 325 mg of acetamin. Long term higher daily doses and cause liver problems. I would ask for a liver enzyme test. Sounds like your body likes the combination. I do better of 15mg oxy but I know people just like you. If 10/325 work the best for you talk to your doc and tell them, but do ask about a liver test.

The oxycontin is extended release so it helps keep your pain level and then when you have breakthrough pain the instant release oxycodone will hit it hard and fast to get it under control. Only taking the instant release can be bad because you can have a lot of ups and downs, like during sleep it will wear off and you will wake up in a ton of pain and probably in withdrawals, with the ER it will keep you level through the night.

Some of the pain medications are a bit harder for the liver to metabolize than others ie. Fentanyl vs. Oxycodone. Fentanyl is harder for the liver to metabolize and Oxycodone basically just flushes right through as long as there is no acetaminophen added. I take Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root everyday as they both assist the liver with detoxification and will not interfere with the potency of any medications you may be taking.

That was a great system that worked for me. Recently I was prescribed oxycodone minus the acetaminophen. I understand the risks of liver damage. However, I have had NO relief since I began this new drug. I'm confused because it is the same drug minus the Tylenol. Anyone else experiencing this? Would taking a higher dose of the oxycodone (not Percocet which is oxy with acetaminophen) help me better?

m in pain management and she put me on 5mg oxycodone 4x/day and it was helping a little in the beginning but now I find my self having to be in pain during day so I can take 2 at night just so I can lay down and fall asleep. The pain becomes unbearable. I have my next appointment Monday and I want to ask for more. But I don't know how to go about it because I don't know if I can tell her I am already taking two a night I don't want to get in trouble. Any suggestions?

Soma/Carisoprodol, a muscle relaxant, is used with rest, physical therapy, and other measures to relax muscles and relieve pain and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, and other muscle injuries. The liver and kidneys help remove Soma from the body. If you have liver or kidney disease, your healthcare provider may need to monitor your response to Soma more closely. Cheers!

I understand your frustration. I have a couple of things going on - NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) and a 4.3cm hemangioma in my left lobe. I found out by going to the ER with RUQ pain that seemed to be getting worse and and not addressed by my primary doc. Yes, I am 5'2" and had a 22cm liver. I'm sure that could cause pain, which is what the Hepatologist said the pain was from. But I've successfully reduced my triglycerides from 977 to 240.
