Re: Ban Is Advised on 2 Top Pain Pills - ANY REPLACEMENTS???

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what the government plans on replacing these 2 drugs with for

those of us that can not take aspirin based pain relievers?  I rarely have to

take anything for pain BUT for those few times I do, a partial percocet is ALL

that I CAN take!

Hi - from what I read on drugs.com, the only problem seems to be that at

this time there is no med that is straight hydrocodone - they claim to have an

extended release version of it in the works. There are already meds out there

that are straight oxycodone, so for those that take percocet, etc., there

shouldn't be a problem in changing meds.

I've always been one to read labels - especially active ingredients - and I can

see how it would be easy for people to overdose on the acetaminophen (Tylenol).

I would also be willing to take two separate medications if my doctor

recommended it rather than just one combo med. IMHO - less chance for overdose

and only taking what is really needed.

Hope this babble helped.....Doreen
