Oxycodone is effective for pain relief, while Gabapentin targets nerve pain specifically. When they are prescribed together, they can provide complete pain relief for dealing with both conditions, such as chronic pain and nerve-related pain. A healthcare provider may prescribe both drugs for post-surgical pain with nerve pain, chronic pain conditions, and pain from diabetic neuropathy. Gabapentin also helps to reduce the risk of opioid dependency or overdose.
