Suggest Dosage Of Norco For Pain Relief After Tooth Extraction
My son just had his wisdom teeth pulled. He is 6 foot 2 inches and about 220 pounds. Oral surgeon prescribed Norco 5-325, 1-2 tablets every 6 hours. With his first dose he is complaining that it isn t working. How long does it take to work? Is it acceptable to take 2 every 4 hours which I have seen on other sights? He is such a big kid

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The Norco 5-325 can be given every 6 hourly, do not take more than 6-8tablets in a day. It might result in adverse effects and addiction.
If i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to go for combination of diclofenac 50mg BID and serratiopeptidase. Complete the course for a minimum of 3 days, the pain will come down. It will not come down by just one dose.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
