can taking percoset daily (12 months) damage your kidneys?

Question

my creatine has been rising slowly over the past 2 month and i'm wondering if it has to do with taking percoset daily...and if so can it be reversed

Answer 1

There are always risks of side efeects with meds, ESPECIALLY when taken long term, as you have taken Percocet over 1 year.
With percocet there is a very RARE risk of kidney failure and kidney problems causing decreased urine, as well as spams of the ureters, which are the tubes connecting the bladder to the kidneys. These are VERY RARE symptoms; however, the chances increase with time the longer and more often the med is taken. Please see your Dr. if you feel that anything is abnormal with your body. YOU are your best Dr. most of the time. And don't feel like you're crazy walking in there and having to be told nothing is wrong in the end. Won't you feel better with that than if something WAS wrong and you didn't find it out until you were headed for surgery or something worse because you didn't get it checked out?
As far as being reversible...it all depends on what, if anything, the problem is. If it's simply an infection, then sure, it's reversible. If it's extensive kidney damage...no, it's not reversible, but it's definitely manageable, and one can lead a very normal life.
Good luck with it.....

Answer 3

All medication has side-effects, although some are more prevalent than others. The first item on the list below states: Notify your doctor prior to taking this drug if you have: Kidney disease. So I would say that there is a risk to kidney damage. I'd speak with your physician about this.

If it were me, I would start researching natural remedies for increased kidney function, just to see if there is something out there that would help that.

Good Luck!
