More than 1 LA med - Pain Management Message Board

brianpain33 · 03-03-2008, 05:10 PM

I was curious about how many of you take more than 1 LA medicatoin (ex. fentanyl patch & Oxycontin). I know that many of us take more than 1 SA med. Also, if you do which meds do you mix. I was just curious in case I ever need to do this.

Hi!!
Im on the patch 12's now since the 25's were recalled, and my LA 15 mgs of hydro 4xdaily, and 8 daily 7.5 vics, IF I need them. So yes, IM on two LA meds. Things are fine. Hope you are doing well!

Izzy- Sounds as if you're on one LA (patch) and two short term (ST) breakthrough (BT) meds.......

I'm curious to know why the patches were recalled?
