I was told after surgery about getting presc and the assistant stated a step down usage. I looked this up now I have taken one and half pills tonight. it states 1 to 2 every 6 hrs as needed and for 30 pills? I have severe COPD ? I have home oxygen...This is not the med for pain given by the hospital in day operation Should I be concerned. It states I should not use if copd.. I do have hypertension and think it has been added to
Yes I agree that if you have severe COPD then u should not take codeine or oxycodone as it can cause further retention of CO2 due to respiratory depression. Safer would be to take Chat Doctor.
