What should I avoid while taking aspirin 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 cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Aspirin is contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much aspirin. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains aspirin. |
 | Avoid drinking alcohol while taking aspirin and oxycodone. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding caused by aspirin. |
 | Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, antidepressants, or seizure medication can add to sleepiness caused by oxycodone, or could slow your breathing. Tell your doctor if you need to use any of these other medicines while you are taking aspirin and oxycodone. |
