Need Drug Interaction Advice (Percocet/Dilaudid)

Whispers

What? No. Don't take both of them at the same time. You can tell us yours and your sister's weight if you want to tho

Why would they send her home with both?

Whispers

8/5/19 9:54pm

Take one or the other, not both.

PharmCoug

I don't know.

Slim

Better yet call the doctor on call for clarification.

Seems risky to follow anything you are told from randos on CB.

Take ibuprofen plus percocet, if percocet alone is not working.

She is on a blood thinner as well so can not take Ibuprofen.

I wouldn't. Both are opioids. She can take Percocet and Ibuprofen at the same

8/5/19 9:54pm

Can’t believe doctors are still prescribing this much opiate

claw

8/5/19 9:57pm

How much? He didn't say how many pills she was prescribed...

Slim

8/5/19 9:58pm

“This much”—you don’t even know the dose or how many were written

8/5/19 9:58pm

The doctor was probably doing Percocet and adding in dilaudid just for

8/5/19 9:57pm

If that was the case. She still can't take both at the same time, correct?

Whispers

8/5/19 10:03pm

Just stick with one until you can reach the doctor.

8/5/19 10:04pm

She can. I wouldn’t want to though. Dilaudid is heavy stuff. What are the

8/5/19 10:04pm

Dilaudid isn’t “heavy stuff”. All that’s gonna do is confuse him.

8/5/19 10:06pm

It is heavy in that a smaller amount of dilaudid gives you a big kick.

8/5/19 10:10pm

Potency is the word you're looking for.

8/5/19 10:20pm

Fair enough. I apologize for using the wrong word.

8/5/19 10:22pm

I don't need an apology, just don't give irresponsible advice.

8/5/19 10:23pm

Both are immediate release opiates that are used for breakthrough pain

mobius

8/5/19 10:04pm

Good call. You’re probably right.

8/5/19 10:07pm

Doctor has to keep the patient happy, can’t have bad reviews on pain management.

Dilaudid has ER version

MatthiasG

8/6/19 5:50pm

Dilaudid is the brand name for immediate release hydromorphone

mobius

8/6/19 7:44pm

Yep. He didn’t specify much & often referred to by brand name despite generic

MatthiasG

8/6/19 10:05pm

Pick one and only take that one.

8/5/19 9:57pm

Make sure it is not diclofenac

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 9:58pm

Percocet and dilaudid is a very dangerous combination. Diclofenac and Percocet

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 9:58pm

toggle them throughout the day

BlueFrog

8/5/19 9:59pm

No this is dangerous advice

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 10:01pm

Don’t do that

This is potentially life-threatening stuff. You probably should not be asking

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 10:11pm

Every single answer is to not take both - it’s common sense advice

cougfanz

8/5/19 10:20pm

Pick one, take that one as directed. It's not rocket science.

8/5/19 10:22pm

How long have you two been physicians

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 10:23pm

11 years but given my work schedule I claim 20

cougfanz

8/5/19 10:25pm

I have 20 years. You honestly think it's safe to solicit advice here?

Agnostic-alumni

8/5/19 10:26pm

Sure. Seems safer than taking Percocet and dilaudid prescribed by some PA

cougfanz

8/5/19 10:28pm

Well for sure but one of the posters said to toggle the scripts and if you read

I printed a DNP certificate before I replied in the thread.

What took longer? Printing it, or completing the coursework?

I'm a pharmacist and late to this conversation.

And whoever the pharmacist was that dispensed those should have counseled you.
