Hydrocodone Liquid & Tablets Prescription

Hi, my name is Rebecca & I currently take hydrocodone 5/325mg tablets q6hrs for pain. I get 60 & I have refills so I can refill them as needed every 15 days. I was released from the hospital on Sunday w/pleurisy of the lungs due to my lupus. On Friday August 8th, my doctor gave me a prescription for Lortab liquid to ease my cough since I cannot take codeine. I filled the script for the Lortab liquid yesterday Friday. It is 10/300 taking 5ml every 4 hrs & there's 120mls which comes to 24 doses or 4 days supply. I am scheduled to have my hydrocodone tablets refilled on Tuesday & I'm wondering if b/c I just had the liquid filled will it cause me a problem. Tuesday will be the day the liquid is scheduled to run out also & since they're different scripts, different amounts, forms of medication etc I don't think there will be an issue. Can u explain to me if this might cause a problem when I go to Walgreens for a refill on my tablets? Thanks, Rebecca

Since one is for a tablet and the other is for a liquid, it should not cause any problems. But, you never know. The pharmacy may or may not call your dr to verify that he wants you to continue with the tablets.

Thanks for your rapid reply to my question. Yes, if the pharmacy were to contact my Dr I don't think the doctor would discontinue my hydrocodone tablets since they are a regular prescription & used to help manage pain & the Lortab liquid was prescribes by an ER doctor to help w/cough on a temporary short-term basis. I also didn't see or suspect a problem, but it is up to the pharmacy & they are pretty strict I hear. Like I said, both run out on Tuesday & I have refills for my tabs on file so hopefully there won't be an issue. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience. Thanks.
