Dear Martin,
Can I get replacement alternative medicines for oxycodone 10 mg? Codeine phosphate 20mg and oxazepam 10mg?
Possibly cheaper alternatives, or easier to obtain medication.
For muscle and nerve pains.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
C.

Dear C,
Unfortunately that is not possible without kicking the habit first.
Talk to the doctor who prescribed them. Why? Also ask for a pain specialist.
Since I do not know the background of your pain and how bad it is, I cannot give any further advice.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Maarten
