Oxycodone and Sinusitis

[nhagerty74]

Can pain medicine, such as Percocet, dry your sinuses out when used regularly?

Thanks for your reply.  I knew it had to be contributing to, or causing, my chronic sinusitis.  The pharmacist told me it wasn't a side effect, but apparently it is for me.

Yes. In the same way that it can contribute to constipation.
