My Friend has cancer and was taking six main pain meds under old hospice. New hospice has changed to 3 and wants to go down to 2. He was taking
Morphine liquid,
Fenytal Patch 100,and 50 total 150 a day
Oxycode IR, 6 a day one every 4 hours
Oxycontine 60 mg 3 times daily,
Fenytal lolly pops. 80 mg every 2 hours
They switched him to oxycontine 60 mg 3 times a day, 72 yes 72 oxycondone IR's and the lolly pop. They want him off the lolly pop because of money reason. He says the lolly pop works best. The problem is this the 72
oxycodone's 5 mg a day and they want to give him even more then that per day He wants to know will that many oxycodone IR's get him sick or cause liver or kidney damage.
They want to eventually get him on two meds 3 very lagre amounts of
oxycontin and all the oxycodone IR's
He is scared and wants any info that would help explain to the new hospice this is not want he wants and he is afraid he is going to get sick stopping 4 of the meds, three instantly and the looly pop in 2 only weeks, And will all that IR med ( 72 5mg's ) get him sick.
