Severely burnt, feeding tube, catheter attached. Taking oxycontin. Side effects?
human
Have a friend that is severely burned and had grafts, feeding tube, had a catheter, and also a colostomy bag. They removed the catheter sunday and has confusion and hallucinogens. He is now on oxycontin, not sure how they are administering. PO or through feeding tube, if it is through the feeding tube can that cause him to have those side affects?

Hi, it is possible that the effects are due to the oxycontine, I advise you to talk to his doctor regarding the condition, he may change the drug, to one which is not centrally irritant.                                As they are removing the catheter it appears that the patient is improving well. Wishing the patient quick recovery. Thank you.
