I was prescribed percocet 5mg as a post surgery medication. It is labeled to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, 60ct. How long should it last?

Hmmm, I'll try doing the math two ways. First, I'll assume that you are taking the lowest possible dose, which is 1 every 6 hours. And then I'll run the numbers assuming you are taking the highest possible dose, which is 2 every 4 hours. Here we go:
1 tablet every 6 hours = 4 tablets per day. 60 tablets divided by 4 = 15 days.
2 tablets every 4 hours = 12 tablets per day. 60 tabs / 12 = 5 days.
So your answer is between 5 and 15 days depending on how high and how frequent your dose is. Can someone please check my math?? (LOL)
Hope you have a quick recovery! Is your doctor or nurse recommending anything specific?
