If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
Elderly patients are more likely to get side effects.
Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your pain does not go away, if it gets worse, or if you have new or different type of pain. Use exactly as directed by your prescriber or health care professional. Do not take more than the recommended dose due to the possibility of liver or kidney damage. To reduce unpleasant effects on your throat and stomach, take acetaminophen-oxycodone with food or milk and never just before lying down. Acetaminophen-oxycodone may make you drowsy when you first start taking it or change doses.
