Stay away from the one with tylenol in it. Chronic use of tylenol can lead to liver damage. I have never seen a reason to add tylenol to medications. If you feel you need tylenol at some point, you can always take it.

I totally agree about taking as little Tylenol as possible... it is TERRIBLE for your liver, however, In my experience, I have found it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a doctor who will prescribe not only oxycodone alone without the Tylenol additive, but also even the hydrocodone without it. not sure if its all the doctors themselves, or if its an insurance thing, but ive had a heck of a time getting the Tylenol removed from my daily pain regimen... and I have active, chronic hepatitis C, which destroys my liver on its own on a daily basis and definitely needs NO help from Tylenol or any other unnecessary substance!!! I got her to write me scripts for Vicoprofen rather than Norco for awhile, since ibuprofenis less harmful to the liver and my enzymes are often out of whack... but after a while, my doctor said basically that she didn't have the time each month to call and make a special request to my insurance company... smh
and when I asked about medication WITHOUT any added meds like Tylenol OR ibuprofen... and was immediately asked why I knew so much about pain medications and began getting trated like a drug seeker!!! which I AM NOT... so I found this VERY offensive and walk on eggshells every time I have to go into her office now... it gives me chronic anxiety just KNOWING when I have to go in person!!! makes you afraid to be honest and ask questions, thank God for the internet!!

Absolutely. Imo Tylenol should only be available by RX. It can cause more damage than opioids

Oxycodone hydrochloride is just simply pure oxycodone with no other non narcotics mixed in with it to (help) such as apap which is just tylonol as u already know. Think of hydrochloride as oxycodones last name just like sativa is to cannibus. The answer to your question about the little green pill being timed release it isn't, it is a 15mg immediate release oxyycodone hydrochloride (pure oxycodone no other added active drugs at all)that is meant to be taken as needed every 4-6hrs hope i helped u out god bless.
