No, pharmacolically, Percocet is a combo drug containing both a narcotic, an opiate-like drug called "oxycodone" and an NSAID, such as Aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen. An NSAID stands for "Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug", and alone are non-narcotic and can be bought over the counter. Percocet is via prescription-only painkiller, a narcotic, because it contains the opiate, oxycodone. and is combined with either aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen depending on the brand and/or country for which it is prescribed.
No. Oxycodone is a narcotic pain killer, and does absolutely nothing to reduce swelling. The meds that do reduce swelling are NSAIDS (non steroidal anti inflammatories), such as aspirin, acetominophen, ibuprofen.
no
No, loratadine is not an NSAID. It is an antihistamine.
No, it is not an NSAID which is the nonsteroidal antiflammatory drug. NSAIDS do not contain narcotic meds as a rule, unless the doctor prescribes that script in such a fashion. Some of the most common NSAIDS are Advil, Motrin (Ibuprofen generic name), Naproxen and Alleve. Some can be purchased over the counter (OTC) or be prescribed by a physician depending on the strength of the NSAID.
It depends whether you're taking oxycodone + Tylenol or just oxycodone alone, how often your meds are dosed and any other medications that you are already taking/other medical problems you might have. If you're only on oxycodone you can start by taking Tylenol as indicated on the bottle. Discuss with doctor if this does not help. You can also try other OTC analgesics like aspirin or an NSAID as long as they are not contraindicated. Once again discuss with your doctor. Finally, if your pain is not controlled with your current dose, you should discuss other prescription options (which include increasing your dose of oxycodone). Hope this helps.
Yes Aleve is an NSAID it is the medication Naproxin sodium
yes ibuprofen is in the nsaid class of medications.
What over the counter Nsaid is easiest on the stomach?
Xanax is not an NSAID. Therefore NSAID allergy would not be a contraindication to using Xanax. Take Xanax only as prescribed.
I checked the MSDS on my generic amoxicillin and it doesn't have NSAID - most probably don't, if not all. Now the question is are NSAID and Amox. compatible pharmacologically.
