The strongest oral prescription analygesic (pain relief)med is oxycodone.
Usually used in a combination tylenol-oxy drug called Percoset.
As long as it's not taken in an abusive way it's an excellent med for pain relief. It converts 100% to morphine.
Vicoden (hydromorphone) is effective too.
If he suggests codiene that's not a big help. It will depend on how you describe the pain levels you are feeling to him. Based on that he can choose the proper med. |
morphine sulfate works too. oxycodone or oxycontin often doesn't have the same staying power.
p.s. Vercet is given through an IV, not taken like a pill. so i don't know if they would give it to you, it depends on a lot of different factors i guess. but since you're turning this into a bit of research i wanted to clear that up. at least in the states, they only give it in a sterile environment like a hospital or the surgical procedure area of a clinic.
