default
Posted on Thu, 28 Apr 2016
Question: I have a bad case of arthritis in the knee and in the hip. My doctor who helped me with Hydrocodon is currently in hospice and I'm having a hard time functioning. Is there a doctor who will prescribe six of these 5-325 per day


I am wondering why this website has my credit card number

When can I expect an answer from one of these doctors?

Brief Answer:
Online prescriptions are not valid.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Ideally, we are not supposed to prescribe the medicines over the net. Today’s research indicates that a move toward individualizing the dosing of prescription agents is warranted and it can happen only after physical consultation. Hydrocodone is a prescription only medicine.
The pain medications are always prescribed after a physical examination and need a dosage regulation according to the severity of symptoms.
I suggest one of the following;
1) If your regular physician has a group practice, he would have assigned his patients to one of the physicians in his group. So you may contact his office and enquire about it.
2) Alternatively, you may look for another Physicia to do the job temporarily.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
