AI generated Summary: Based on the limited information provided, it appears that Acetaminophen and Oxycodone is an effective treatment for pain, particularly when hydrocodone has failed. However, there are concerns about the potential for addiction and overdose, especially when taken with additional acetaminophen, leading to increased scrutiny in prescribing this medication.
WIth the opioid crisis and potential addiction, there is much more scrutiny in prescribing, but this offers increasing dosages to meet pain needs. I do find oxycodone more effective than hydrocodone and reserve this for failure of hydrocodone. This should not be taken with acetaminophen (Tylenol) because of the potential of overdosing.
