I'm wondering if someone could answer a question for me? Please let me know if taking 10 milligrams of oxycodone and 4-5 drops of Atropine every "2" hours is safe at all? And how dangerous this cocktail is.
This is what they prescribed my mother, who just felt a little sick. And "wham". Some nurse just stops by and gives this to her every 2 hours. My mother was elderly and needed to be taken care of. So they gave us this nurse that seemed to just take a life and move on to the next. She also mentioned that she didn't really care about people since her husband died unexpectedly.

Do not use alcohol or medications that contain alcohol while you are receiving treatment with oxyCODONE. This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. You may also want to avoid or limit the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can significantly increase the blood levels of oxycodone in some people. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not use more than the recommended dose of oxyCODONE, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
