Can you mix codeine phosphate with any other pain killer?

For the hypothetical patient, this combination may be used. However, it should be noted that the combination may be dangerous for some patients and should therefore only be used under medical supervision. When prescribed together, the OxyContin is usually scheduled (one tab twice daily etc) and the codeine used for "breakthrough" pain (pain which occurs between doses of the scheduled med). OxyContin and codeine are both opioids and controlled substances. Use each (alone or in combination) only as prescribed.


How should you chart 325 mg one to two tablets every 4 to 6 hours?

325mg 1-2tabs q4-6h However, depending on the setting you might not be allowed to use more than one variable range such as 1-2 or 4-6, so in this case "1-2tabs q6h" or "1tab q4-6h", might be the only acceptable answers. If so, be careful to err to the side of caution, do not say 2tabs q4h because it might lead to an overdose. Most hospitals would not allow two variables. Even acetaminophen can be dangerous if the prescription or order is unclear.

Can naproxen sodium and codeine phosphate with ibuprofen be taken together?

It can, but isn't necessary. Codeine is a stronger analgesic and with it having ibuprofen, it has the same benefit that naproxen would have if added. Kinda like taking codeine with 2 ibuprofens. Not needed. If more pain relief is needed you would want to see about an increased dosage of codeine w/ibuprofen... You shouldn't take ibuprofen and Naproxen together... both act the same way on the same receptors.. you'll only get more side effects and toxicity.


What drugs will test positive for codeine?
