Oxycodone/Acetaminophen

Pronunciation: OX-i-KOE-done/a-SEET-a-MIN-oh-fen
Generic Name: Oxycodone/Acetaminophen
Brand Name: Examples include Endocet and Percocet

Oxycodone/Acetaminophen contains acetaminophen. Severe and sometimes fatal liver problems, including the need for liver transplant, have been reported with the use of acetaminophen. Most cases of these liver problems occurred in patients taking excessive doses of acetaminophen (more than 4,000 mg per day). Also, patients who developed these liver problems were often using more than 1 medicine that contained acetaminophen. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.

Oxycodone/Acetaminophen is used for:

Relieving moderate to moderately severe pain. Oxycodone/Acetaminophen may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Oxycodone/Acetaminophen is a combination of a narcotic and an analgesic/antipyretic. It works in the brain and nervous system to decrease pain.

Do NOT use Oxycodone/Acetaminophen if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Oxycodone/Acetaminophen


• you have high blood carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia) or a certain severe bowel problem (paralytic ileus)


• you have severely slow or difficult breathing or severe asthma, or you are having an asthma attack


• you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Oxycodone/Acetaminophen:

Some medical conditions may interact with Oxycodone/Acetaminophen. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have had an allergic reaction to any codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, hydromorphone)


• if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung or breathing problems


• if you have or recently have had any head injury, increased pressure in the brain, growths in the brain (eg, tumors), or infection of the brain or nervous system


• if you have a history of heart problems (eg, cor pulmonale), low blood pressure, the blood disease porphyria, stomach or bowel problems (eg, blockage, paralysis), inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), gallbladder problems, liver problems (eg, hepatitis), kidney problems, seizures, thyroid problems, adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease), curvature of the spine (scoliosis), prostate problems (eg, an enlarged prostate), or trouble urinating


• if you are in very poor health; are dehydrated or have low blood volume; or have drowsiness, stomach pain, or severe diarrhea caused by antibiotic use (pseudomembranous colitis)


• if you drink alcohol; have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, mood or mental problems, or suicidal thoughts or actions; or are going through withdrawal from alcohol or other substances

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Oxycodone/Acetaminophen. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine, oxybutynin) because the risk of a certain severe bowel problem (paralytic ileus) may be increased


• Cimetidine, muscle relaxants (eg, cyclobenzaprine), phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), or sulfinpyrazone because the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, slow or difficult breathing, confusion, and seizures, may be increased


• Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clarithromycin, isoniazid, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (eg, boceprevir, ritonavir), or telithromycin because they may increase the risk of Oxycodone/Acetaminophen's side effects


• Buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, naltrexone, pentazocine, or rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease Oxycodone/Acetaminophen's effectiveness


• Lamotrigine, loop diuretics (eg, furosemide), or zidovudine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Oxycodone/Acetaminophen


• Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Oxycodone/Acetaminophen


• Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, methotrexate, certain medicines for HIV infection) because the risk of liver side effects may be increased. Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines might harm the liver

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Oxycodone/Acetaminophen may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

D-Tann

Generic Name: diphenhydramine and phenylephrine (DYE fen HYE dra meenand FEN il EFF rin)

Brand Names: Alahist LQ, Aldex-CT, Children's Triacting Night Time, D-Tann, Dimetapp Nighttime Cold & Congestion, Diphenmax D, Dytan-D, PediaCare Children's Allergy & Cold, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold Children's, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold Pediatric, Triaminic Night Time Cold & Cough

What is D-Tann (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of diphenhydramine and phenylephrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Diphenhydramine and phenylephrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about D-Tann (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or sleep medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of one or more types of medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains an antihistamine, decongestant, or cough suppressant. Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking this medication. It can add to drowsiness caused by an antihistamine.

Avoid taking diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.

This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy (such as other cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by diphenhydramine.
