What should I avoid while taking acetaminophen and oxycodone?
 | This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. |
 | Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Acetaminophen is contained in many medicines available over the counter. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen. |
 | Avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen and oxycodone. Alcohol may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen. |
| Cold or allergy medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by oxycodone. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these medicines, or any other narcotic pain medicine. |
