My Dr. prescribed a pain pill for me to take every 6 hours. What are the times I should take them? Example: 8am, 2pm, 8pm?
Does that sound accurate? Thank you.

Hello Debbie! How are you?

That would be every 6 hours, so yes, going by your chart, you are on the mark.

What medication was prescribed? The FDA lists the typical side effects of most of them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache.
