I was given ibuprofen with a schedule with it I was given oxycodone/ APAP in the case of mild to moderate pains. Is it safe to take the OXY within a 6hour intake of the ibuprofen?

Yes you can take ibu every 8 hours with oxy as long as you don't have any problems with ibuprofen and some orthopedic conditions advise against it.

Hey Alan,
You can take oxycodone with the ibuprofen at the same time if you want. In fact, there is one formula of oxycodone that is mixed with ibuprofen rather than acetominophen which is what the APAP is.
Hope this helps,

I didn't know there was an oxycodone/ibuprofen med. I did know of a hydrocodone/ ibuprofen med. And have chosen that over the codones /apap for inflamatory issues because tylenol has no antiinflamatory properties. And to take even1/2 the dose of the codone/ibuprofen med seems to be more logical for taking the edge off the intense pain while targeting the inflamatory cause of the pain. Honestly, I feel patients w/ inflamatory pain are being done a double injustice when perscribed a codone / apap. As far as not reducing cause and ill side effects of the apap. Would love to know the name of the oxycodone/ibuprofen med.

Sorry, only know it by its generic name which is ibuprofen/oxycodone. Oxycodone also comes in a formula with aspirin.
