Suggest Treatment For Arthritis Pain

Posted on Fri, 12 Feb 2016

Question: I have been taking hydro condone 10/325 for about two years for arthritis pain. I am under the care of a pain management doctor. For the first time ever, I think I took another pill after having already taken one two hours prior. Should I be concerned? Still waiting for answer. I feel okay, but am worried about potential overdose possibilities.

No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contactin HCM with your health care concerns

You accidently took an extra hydrocodone 10/325 mg tablet. You should have not ill effects since you body is already accustomed to the hydrocodone.

I can reassure you that you do not need to inform anyone or go to an ER or urgent care
