Amoxicillin is a penicillin-based antibiotic that was prescribed to deal with an infection. Oxycodone is a pain med. There is no interaction between these two meds, so Yes you can take both meds together without any problems.

Interactions between your drugs
No interactions were found between the drugs in your list. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your health care provider.

Yes, you can take them but I always suggest you double check with your Pharmacist unless both medications were prescribed by the same Dr..

Any doctor should be aware of potential interactions so he advises the patient of any potential interactions when he prescribes to them while they are there in his office for their appointment. Then after that they go to a pharmacy. Then that pharmacy has a record of all the meds that the patient takes which the pharmacist will consult the patient about the meds the doc prescribe to them. So that in effect the patient is twice advised and informed about the meds that they are going to take before they even get home (providing the patient goes to the pharmacy after leaving the doctor's office). Thus the patient is well-informed when they leave the doc's office and the pharmacy before they get home. Plus there are directions on the pill bottle which again informs the patient of any risk and the patient should read these directions before taking a dose of their prescribed med.
So that is a total of three times that the patient being informed about any risk concerning their meds. Therefore the patient need not keep calling the doctor every time before they take a dose of their meds, as you suggest.

You sure know the procedure, I am not in the USA therefor I try to be extra careful when it comes to interactions, even if the meds do not interact.
I appreciate you informing me on how the American procedure is.
I lived in the US when a I was young for about 5 years, must have been 10 y/o, I am 54 y/o now.

If , as you know the US procedure and the patient is informed 3 times about potential risk, interactions, etc., why do you think they ask about the safety of taking meds together?

Because they hear the doctor but don't listen to what he is telling them. This is the case with the pharmacist as well. They are preoccupied when they should be paying attention. Plus they do not read the pill bottle instructions that are right there in front of their eyes, instead they just pour out a pill then take it. Maybe they are just too lazy to bother with reading information that is important for them to know concerning the medicine that was prescribed to them. I've personally seen this happen with friends who get a prescription then later have questions about their prescribed medicine when the answer that they seek is right there on the pill bottle directions. I see that you always advise to check with a doctor.
Maybe you could add that maybe they should first go back and closely read the directions on the pill bottle to make sure they understood the facts about the medicine they are taking; then if they still have questions concerning that medicine they are prescribed, they should check with the doctor and/or pharmacist. Most of the time just closely reading and understanding the pill bottle directions will answer most of their questions and save the a lot of time in calling the doctor or pharmacist.
