In the U.S.
Available Dosage Forms:
Therapeutic Class: Opioid/Salicylate, Aspirin Combination
Pharmacologic Class: NSAID
Chemical Class: Salicylate, Aspirin
Oxycodone and aspirin combination is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. Oxycodone belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
Aspirin is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. Aspirin belongs to the group of medicines known as salicylates and acts on the immune system to reduce inflammation. It is also known as an anti-inflammatory analgesic.
When oxycodone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.
oxycodone and aspirin is available only with your doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For oxycodone and aspirin, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to oxycodone and aspirin or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of oxycodone and aspirin combination in the pediatric population. Because of aspirin's toxicity, use in children and teenagers is not recommended.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of oxycodone and aspirin combination in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver or kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving oxycodone and aspirin combination.
| Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Studies in women breastfeeding have demonstrated harmful infant effects. An alternative to this medication should be prescribed or you should stop breastfeeding while using oxycodone and aspirin.

Flush the unused Percodan® oral tablets down the toilet.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are taking oxycodone and aspirin. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it.
Using oxycodone and aspirin while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
oxycodone and aspirin will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert).
