That's 3-4 per day. If you take 4 per day(1 every 6 hours) (24 hours in 1 day); 40 divided by 4 = 10 days. If you take 3 per day(1 every 8 hours) (still 24 hours in 1 day); 40 divided by 3 =13 days, with 1 pill left for the 14th day. Most doctors say that's a 10 day supply because you'll most likely take 1 every 6 hours as opposed to 8 hours, they don't last that long. I hope this is clear enough for everyone to understand

What are the specifics of the prescription? Has it been prescribed to be taken ever 6 to 8 hours regularly? Or has it been directed that you only take it as needed? I'm sorry, but the answer depends on this additional information.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
Are you on any other medications? What complications are you experiencing?
