I had a reconstruction on my foot on January 10th and now it's been feb 28th and since I've okay and some what walking again and I have to take oxycodone when my foot hurts. And I took one Sunday night and the next day around 8:30 am I had few sips of alcohol.. And I wasn't sure if it was okay to drink since it's been 7 weeks.. But now I'm worried if I can take my medication or I need to wait.. Cause I take oxcodone when I'm in pain.. N Sunday I was so took one at 9:30 or 10:30..

I'm not a doctor or pharmacist, so I have no idea. DrBill, our med guy, is usually online in the evening, so he may show up to reply to your post.

I'm a bit bamboozled though. Why were you drinking alcohol at 8:30 in the morning?

It isn't wise to drink any alcohol while taking oxycodone. It can cause dangerous side effects. Oxy is a fast acting agent and was at low level by the time you had the few sips. Having already done so, if you haven't experienced any problems, you probably won't.

Here is a link to the FDA advice on oxycodone. You should have been provided a similar sheet along with the prescription:

Oxycodone (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000589/)

Stay away from the alcohol until you finish your pain medication.

Thanks dr.bill. I've stop taking my medication after this happen so nothing bad happens. But I was aware that nothing will happen to me since the oxy disolve over night but can be in my system bt I won't be at high high risk.. Like death or any side affects.. Because I've drank tons of water that day..
