For what would u necessitate oxycodone, levaquin, and metoclopramide medication?
Answers:
Pain, urinary tract infection, and gastroparesis, in that order.
Oxycodone is used for pain control, plain and simple. It's pretty powerful for an oral pain med, so it's usually given for moderate to severe spasm.
Levaquin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with quite good coverage for several illnesses. It is actually somewhat unlikely to be given for a urinary tract infection, it would work just fine, but it's overkill, other antibiotics are better choices for that. It is often used for pneumonia or cases contained by which there are multiple possibilities as to what the infection is. Generally speaking, it's a good all-around performer that can taken in words and used for many different things.
Metoclopramide, or Reglan, is an antiemetic and a pro-motility agent. It is most often used for nausea and vomiting for any of a number of cause.
If you're asking why one would need them all at the same time:
strain from an operation, infection in the surgical wound, lack of GI motility due to being stuck surrounded by bed after surgery. Source(s): PharmD candidate
