Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Exalgo (hydromorphone) is a more potent opioid than oxycodone.The increased potency means more chance of occurrence of side effects too. If you are not tolerating Exalgo well, then the better option is to switch back to Oxycodone 60 mg.
Hope this answers your questions
