Your doctor will use caution in prescribing the pain medication Magnacet (oxycodone and acetaminophen) if you have liver disease. If your liver is damaged, it may not process Magnacet properly, which can cause serious side effects. Your doctor may monitor you closely and adjust your dose, regimen or timing. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before you start Magnacet.
