Description: Acetaminophen and oxycodone are used together as an oral analgesic product. These products are used to treat pain. Acetaminophen is a non-narcotic analgesic, and oxycodone is a narcotic analgesic. This combination produces a greater analgesic effect than that produced by acetaminophen alone or by higher doses of narcotic. Also, this combination might cause fewer adverse reactions than do equianalgesic doses of either agent alone.
