Interactions between your drugs
oxyCODONE lindane topical
Applies to: acetaminophen / oxycodone and lindane topical
Some of the medication in lindane topical can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and produce seizures on rare occasions. The risk may be increased when used with other medications that can also cause seizures such as oxyCODONE. This may be more likely to occur in very young children or the elderly; people undergoing alcohol or drug withdrawal; and those who have a history of seizures or a condition affecting the central nervous system such as a brain tumor or head trauma. Excessive or inappropriate use or accidental ingestion of lindane topical can also lead to seizures. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns. You should follow closely the instructions for use of lindane topical given by the prescriber, and keep the product out of reach of children. Do not exceed the frequency and duration of use recommended on the product label or prescribed by the doctor. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. You may also want to avoid or limit the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can significantly increase the blood levels of oxycodone in some people. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not use more than the recommended dose of oxyCODONE, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications.
