- Oxycodone has a risk for abuse and addiction, which can lead to overdose and death. Oxycodone may also cause severe, possibly fatal, breathing problems. To lower your risk, your doctor should have you take the smallest dose of oxycodone that works, and take it for the shortest possible time.<br /><br />See also How to Use section for more information about addiction. The risk for severe breathing problems is higher when you start this medication and after a dose increase, or if you take the wrong dose/strength. Taking this medication with alcohol or other drugs that can cause drowsiness or breathing problems may cause very serious side effects, including death.<br /><br />Also, other medications can affect the removal of oxycodone from your body, which may affect how oxycodone works. Be sure you know how to take ibuprofen/oxycodone and what other drugs you should avoid taking with it. See also Drug Interactions section.<br /><br />Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: slow/shallow breathing, unusual lightheadedness, severe drowsiness/dizziness, difficulty waking up. Keep this medicine in a safe place to prevent theft, misuse, or abuse. If someone accidentally swallows this drug, get medical help right away.<br /><br /> The other ingredient in this medication, ibuprofen, may rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. Also, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including ibuprofen) may rarely increase the risk for a heart attack or stroke. This effect can happen at any time while taking this drug but is more likely if you take it for a long time.<br /><br />The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes). Do not take this drug right before or after heart bypass surgery (CABG). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the benefits and risks of treatment, as well as other possible medication choices.<br /><br /> If you notice any of the following rare but very serious side effects, stop taking this medication and get medical help right away: black stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest pain, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, or slurred speech. Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits (such as miscarriage, trouble getting pregnant). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant.<br /><br />During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It is not recommended for use during the first and last trimesters of pregnancy due to possible harm to the unborn baby and interference with normal labor/delivery. If this medication must be used, to lessen the risk, take the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time.<br /><br />Babies born to mothers who use this drug for a long time may develop severe (possibly fatal) withdrawal symptoms. Tell the doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as crying that doesn't stop, slow/shallow breathing, irritability, shaking, vomiting, diarrhea, poor feeding, or difficulty gaining weight.
