Vicodin 5 300

Updated

I have an abscessed tooth, and my dentist prescribed me vicodin 5/300. Every 4-6 hrs as needed. If one doesnt do the trick do you think it would be safe to take 1 and a 1/2 to 2 every 4-6 hrs as needed?

It should be fine. Your tooth should stop hurting in 2-3 days and you'll have left overs anyways. Don't take more than you need though or we will see you back on here asking how to kick opiate addiction.

Seriously though, the 5='s 5miligrams of the narcotics part of the pill and 10 won't hurt you any. also, take it just before the pain starts as you wouldn't want to wait for the pain to start and have to wait for the meds to kick in 45 minutes later.

Vicodin 5/300 is a low dose of narcotic plus 300mg of Tylenol. Taking 2 for an abscess every 4 to 6 hours is appropriate. Do not take more than 8 per day to avoid digestive issues and ingesting too much Tylenol.
