How should Oxymorphone (Opana) be taken?

With food
Take on empty stomach
With milk
Without water

The correct answer is: Take on empty stomach

Oxymorphone (Opana) is a powerful opioid medication and should be taken on an empty stomach to achieve the best results. Taking it with food can decrease absorption and may lead to reduced effectiveness. It should not be taken with milk, as dairy products can also affect absorption and may cause interactions. While it is important to stay hydrated, Oxymorphone should not be taken with water simultaneously. It is best to wait at least 30 minutes after taking the medication before drinking water. Therefore, Option B is the most appropriate choice for the optimal effectiveness of Oxymorphone.
