Write A Prescription For Norco? Hydrocodone Apap 7.5/325:40

Updated

My patient has recently had two (2) toes removed and he has extreme bad pain in his right foot. If you could help him out and get the right pain medication what would you recommend?

Ideally, only a qualified physician who's examined the patient in person and reviewed their medical history can make an appropriate judgement call on adequate treatment for something like this. However from a layman's (outside) perspective it would seem that starting off with something mid-level in strength would allow for substantial wiggle room in the dosage and/or type of narcotic analgesic being administered. In my personal opinion based solely off observation (not having had any of my toes removed and can't fathom the amount of pain that might ensue) a moderate dose of hydrocodone appears to be what I would call "standard procedure" in many cases for initially breaking someone into the realm of controlled substance treatment options. Again, that's just my perspective. I would encourage you to discuss this with some of your colleagues who may have more experience in pain management, but feel that you should also be confident in your own intuition and research as a doctor.

LOL, are you serious, doc? Why wouldn't you know what to prescribe since you're his doctor? O.K., if I was a doctor and this guy was my patient I'd prescribe him 30 mg. Oxycodone every 4 to 6 hours or 3 a day.
