A lot of the people who post on this board seem to be very familiar with medications such as opiate painrelievers, so I am hoping someone may know the answer to this.
I have been prescribed Percocet for the past 7 years for chronic pain, I am concerned about the danger of the tylenol that is in it, using it every day 3 to 4 times a day. I know it can be organ toxic, but my doctor assures me that staying under 4000 mg of it a day will be safe. I would rather take the Percocet in a form that does NOT have the tylenol, but I dont care for time release drugs like Oxycontin. I am afraid of that.
Sooooooooo, my question is does anyone know anything about a form of oxycodone called ROXICODONE that is supposed to be percocet without the tylenol? My doctor has never heard of it but I have researched it on the internet, and it apparently exists. What I don't know is, is this available in the US? Thanks anyone.
