Is take 2 500 mg of hydrocodone every for hours for two or three days straight okay?

Question:

Answers:
The real concern is your daily intake of tylenol. It's the 500mg.... the lower number is the hydrocodone. 2 grams a day is considered the safe maximum (w/a healthy liver) by most doctors. If you need this pain medication for a while, you may want to ask for Norco as it has only 325 mg tylenol.
Constipation can be a problem with opioids. If it's a problem, you'll need a stimulating laxative not a softener as opioids paralyze the bowel.

I'm a chronic pain patient and used Norco for over a year before changing meds. In the right dose, it's very effective.
Good luck and hope you have pain free days

I have seen it ordered that way, but I caution you. If you take that med for that long make sure you take Colace, a stool softener. Even with that you are in for a surprise when you try to have a BM
