Reply:There are several preparations of oxycodone and hydrocodone...Oxycontin, Percocet, Lortab, and others.


Tramadol (Ultram, Ultracet) is used sometimes.


Morphine Sulfate and Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) can be used, as can Meperidine and Demerol. Usually, the doctor orders a combination (Oxycontin 10 mg at 9A and 9P, with Lortab every 4 hours as needed for breakthrough pain).


Sometimes Pregabalin or Gabapentin may be added for some types of surgery, but this is rare.
Reply:Percocet Vicodin Tylenol 3 and Ibuprofen are four I can think of.
Reply:Percocet, Vicodin, Demerol, Motrin
Reply:Percocet, Coumadin [blood thinner, but I'm sure you're looking for pain meds], Oxycontin, Dilaudid.
Reply:Dilaudid, Percocet, ibuprofen, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Tylenol #3.
