My doctor prescribed me (60) 30mg. Oxycodone's. But my pharmacist gave me (120) 15 mg. pills as a substitute. My question is will (2) 15 mg. pills have the same effect as (1) 30 mg. pill?
Yes, as long as it is the same release formulation, then it would be the same.
Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic pain reliever. Commonly sold under the brand names Roxicodone,OxyIR and Oxycontin, depending on the release formulation prescribed.
Some common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
yes,, on paper taking two 15mg roxys should equal 1 30 mg roxy... ON PAPER... BUT BUT BUT,, i know this from my personal experience,, but for some reason the 15's dont help me at all! i mean its not even close to the 30's for some wierd reason. I know it doesnt make sense to me,, but i swear its true in my case.. taking a half of a 30 actually seems to help me more than taking 2 15's.. lol i know on paper that makes NO sense but like i have said,, thats in MY case.. dont know why,, wish i did.. if anyone does know i would love to know why.. thanks
