Puis-je prendre du gel d'Ibuprofène à 10 % et de l'Oxycodone ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Oxycodone is an opioid painkiller that slows down the central nervous system. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory (NSAID). When used together, they can have an additive effect on the body, potentially increasing drowsiness. Although the gel is applied to the skin, a small amount enters the system and can interact with the way oxycodone affects the body and the stomach lining.

It is generally safe to use these together for short periods, but you should use the ibuprofen gel sparingly. If you feel excessively sleepy, dizzy, or develop stomach pain, stop using the gel and speak to your doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol while using these medicines, as it will make the drowsiness much worse.

Opioid dependence and respiratory depression

Oxycodone is highly addictive and can cause dangerous breathing problems. Do not take with alcohol or other sedatives, as this significantly increases the risk of a fatal overdose.

Asthme

Do not take ibuprofen if you have asthma, as it can cause a life-threatening worsening of your breathing or a severe allergic reaction.

Grossesse (troisième trimestre)

Do not take ibuprofen if you are more than 6 months pregnant, as it can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and complications during birth.

Sunlight exposure

Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or sunlamps during treatment and for two weeks after stopping, as the gel can make your skin significantly more sensitive to light, leading to severe rashes or burns.

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking oxycodone. Combining alcohol with opioid painkillers like oxycodone significantly increases the risk of dangerous side effects, including extreme sleepiness, breathing difficulties, and a potentially fatal overdose.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while using ibuprofen. Although the amount of medicine absorbed through the skin is low, combining ibuprofen with alcohol can increase the risk of irritation to your stomach lining or, in rare cases, liver strain.

Jus de pamplemousse

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking oxycodone. Grapefruit can increase the amount of oxycodone in your blood, which makes side effects like drowsiness and breathing problems more likely.
