What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using Oxyfast (oxycodone)?
Do not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include methadone, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others), or to a narcotic cough medicine that contains codeine, hydrocodone, or dihydrocodeine. You should also not take oxycodone if you are having an asthma attack or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus. Oxycodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Oxycodone should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Before using oxycodone, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have: • asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders; • liver or kidney disease; • underactive thyroid; • curvature of the spine; • a history of head injury or brain tumor; • epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
